Title: Understanding Relativity Condition: New Subtitle: A Simplified Approach to Einstein's Theories Author: Leo Sartori Format: Paperback ISBN-10: 0520200292 EAN: 9780520200296 ISBN: 9780520200296 Publisher: University of California Press Genre: Science Nature & Math Release Date: 05/30/1996 Description: Nonspecialists with no prior knowledge of physics and only reasonable proficiency with algebra can now understand Einstein's special theory of relativity. Effectively diagrammed and with an emphasis on logical structure, Leo Sartori's rigorous but simple presentation will guide interested readers through concepts of relative time and relative space. Sartori covers general relativity and cosmology, but focuses on Einstein's theory. He tracks its history and implications. He explores illuminating paradoxes, including the famous twin paradox, the "pole-in-the-barn" paradox, and the Loedel diagram, which is an accessible, graphic approach to relativity. Students of the history and philosophy of science will welcome this concise introduction to the central concept of modern physics.
