Nyskick. ///Förlagets beskrivning: This new Revised Second Edition of Essential Relativity incorporates a major revision of the section on the metric of static fields as well as numerous minor improvements. From a review of the First Edition ". . . represents a refreshingly modern approach to the critical problem of teaching relativity theory . ... I am aware of no other text covering the same material at this level that is even comparable . . . . In terms of general clarity and freshness of approach, the text may profitably be compared with Einstein's own semipopular writings on relativity theory or with Richard P. Feynman's Lectures in Physics. At every turn the reader is exposed to the philosophical concepts of relativity theory by means of lucid thought experiments, clever heuristic derivations, and examples and illuminating illustrations. . . . Rindler has brought relativity one step closer to the common man." Physics Today. Wolfgang Rindler is Professor of Physics at the University of Texas at Dallas, Born in Vienna and educated in England, he has taught at the Universities of Liverpool and London, at Cornell University, the Southwest Center for Advanced Studies, and the Universities of Rome and Vienna.
