Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
In this short book a physicist and a professor of literature attempt to explain Einstein's theories of relativity, both special and general, for the educated layperson. Mathematics and physics background are kept to a minimum. In addition to the main body of the text, there is an appendix of almost 100 pages describing the theory more fully but still without any advanced technical details. The authors use simplified examples and diagrams to help the reader understand the essence of the theory. Nevertheless, the concepts are counter-intuitive and not easy to grasp. A good book about a difficult topic for someone willing to put out some effort. Harold D. Shane, Dept. of Mathematics, Baruch Coll., CUNY

Pressestimmen
In a remarkable and unusual collaboration [Mook and Vargish] offer us Inside Relativity... Happily, for all its seriousness of intent, Mook and Vargish's book has a refreshing lightness, imparting at once an air of easy reading (it is very well written) and a momentum that propels one from opening enigma to closing coda... The pseudo-paradoxes and quasi-conundrums of the theory are delightfully illustrated... -- Lane Hughston, The Times Higher Education Supplement This outstanding book provides an excellent exposition on relativity with virtually no mathematics. Both special and general relativity are disclosed along with some information on the contributors and their personalities... The book is well suited to nonscience majors. Nevertheless, a science major would also benefit from reading it because of its beautiful development of basic concepts. -- David Fink, Science Books & Films

This book is an OUTSTANDING expose of Einstein's Special and General theories of Relativity. It explains by way of analogy (which relativity lends itself to) in a way that is extremely accesable while remaining very informative. The book helps clearly underscore many of the fascinating consequences of Einstein's theory.

A Unique Expose of Einstein's Relativity
24. März 2007
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
There are hundreds of books that claim to simplify the theory of relativity for the general public. "Inside Relativity" is among the few that actually achieve this goal without loosing the beauty of Einstein's theories. The strength of the book comes from the structure as well as its cogent language. Many others fail to set the context for Einstein's entrance into the scientific scene but Mook & Vargish do this quite masterfully. There are many valuable references sprinkled throughout the book. I did consult few of them before finishing the book and that may have biased my opinion. This book should be on your bookshlef even if you think you know what Relativity is all about.

I am reading this book as part of the required/recommended reading for Einstein's Relativity and the Quantum Revolution: Modern Physics for Non-Scientists course by The Teaching Company. I find that this book is easy to follow, the examples and illustrations are quite good. It also does well serving mathematics "on the side", if you want it. It has helped my understanding of classical physics concepts and will help me with modern physics as I continue reading, I'm sure.
P.S. If you're taking this Teaching Company course, I would suggest reading all the required and recommended material to get the most out of the course.
