Generally such a book looks much more like a history book, and apparently the author thinks that the only way to learn from the mistakes of history is to repeat them. Such books give no hint of how a scientist really thinks. By then I learned from Crackerjacks and cereal that the good stuff is at the back, not in the front. No hint of particle physics.
Special relativity appears only at the end, if at all, and after electromagnetism and optics.
Newton's laws are discussed before conservation of energy and momentum. Electrodynamics is apparently about circuitry. Maxwell's equations appear in full only in integral form, not differential, even though a partial version of the differential equations is applied to radiation. Refraction of light is claimed to have no explanation in terms of particles, quoting Newton's failure. For special relativity, Lorentz transformations come before 4-vectors.
