The Restless Universe, a classical popular science book about physics written by Max Born, was published in England in 1935. Max Born puts a great deal of efforts in writing the book, including the following aspects such as content selection, narrative method and skills, using literary means, drawing more delicate pictures in the book, and so on, those efforts have left fond and deep impressions on the readers. Thus, it is exemplified as a classical popular science book. Born’s academic thinking, such as attaching great importance to the role of valuing experiment in research work, and placing emphasis on the role of disciplinary history in teaching, were well embodied in that book. The book also illustrates Born’s unique insights into science and science research, and the law of the development of physics due to his meticulously studying and observing history of physics. A popular science writer could get more help, guidance and reference when he holds and reads the book.
