I loved Weinberg's history book. I'll read literally anything by Weinberg, i'm a fanboy, i admit it! It was very different than the usual academic history, but not ignorant like they usually are. And i love that he actually works the problems himself.

My only complaints are that I think he is unfair to the ancients (for example I don't think he mentioned that they developed a universal gravitational theory, which was a direct inspiration for newton), and i wish he spend more time on optics, especially Kepler's optics which was apparently the great conceptual revolution in the field, but I know next to nothing about it!
