Book Reviews of Relativity Visualized
Book Review: Makes child's play of relativity
Summary: 5 Stars
I had taken a course in modern physics in college and read several books on special relativity, but I never really got it until after I read this book. The thought experiments and progression of the book allow the reader to gain understanding conceptually and with virtually no mathematics. This book is so lucid and concise that you don't need to dwell on concepts that aren't clear (since they're all made clear in the text) and you're able to move on quickly. I believe this was the only 'laymans' guide to relativity that I actually finished.
My fondest wish is that someday Professor Epstein will write on quantum mechanics, since that may be the only way I'll ever understand it.
Summary of Relativity Visualized
Relativity Visualized is the "layman's" guide to relativity, using a highly illustrated and non-mathematical approach to describe accurately the Special and General Theories of Relativity.Quantum Theory Books
