{"product_id":"an-illustrated-guide-to-relativity-tatsu-takeuchi-9780521141000","title":"An Illustrated Guide to Relativity","description":"Aimed at both physics students and non-science majors, this unique book explains Einstein's special theory of relativity pictorially, using diagrams rather than equations. The diagrams guide the reader, step-by-step, from the basics of relativity to advanced topics including the addition of velocities, Lorentz contraction, time dilation, the twin paradox, Doppler shift, and Einstein's famous equation E=mc . The distinctive figures throughout the book enable the reader to visualize the theory in a way that cannot be fully conveyed through equations alone. The illustrative explanations in this book maintain the logic and rigour necessary for physics students, yet are simple enough to be understood by non-scientists. The book also contains entertaining problems which challenge the reader's understanding of the materials covered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tatsu Takeuchi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521141001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521141000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2011","brand":"Tatsu Takeuchi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946711154943,"sku":"9780521141000","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a71ba448-c1eb-428b-b574-aa2fa2fd79ec.jpg?v=1681514697","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-illustrated-guide-to-relativity-tatsu-takeuchi-9780521141000","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
