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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSartori 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leo Sartori\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520200292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520200296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.97h x 6.00w x 0.94d","brand":"Leo Sartori","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46526197858559,"sku":"9780520200296","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6aa78b4f-8bac-49db-8936-66df9e3d1373.jpg?v=1737555473","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/understanding-relativity-leo-sartori-9780520200296","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
