Description for Einstein's Space-Time: An Introduction to Special and General Relativity
Hardcover. Offers a fresh take on relativity theory, setting it in its historical context. Suitable for those interested in relativity and the history of physics, this book contains an account of special relativity that begins with the historical analysis of the reasons that led to a change in our view of space and time. Num Pages: 328 pages, 126 black & white illustrations, 2 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PHR. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 19. Weight in Grams: 1420.
Between 1994 and 1999, I had the pleasure of lecturing Special and General Relativity in the Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales of the Universidad de Buenos Aires. These lectures were targeted to undergraduate and graduate students of Physics. However, it is increasingly apparent that interest in Relativity extends beyond these academic circles. Because of this reason, this book intends to become useful to students of related disciplines and to other readers interested in Einstein’s work, who will be able to incorporate entirely the fundamental ideas of Relativity starting from the very basic concepts of Physics.

Reviews for Einstein's Space-Time: An Introduction to Special and General Relativity
From the reviews: "This is an extraordinarily thorough and compact primer on special and general relativity written and translated from the Spanish by astrophysicist Ferraro (Institute of Astronomy and Space Physics, Universidad de Buenos Aires). It is a remarkable resource for intermediate and advanced undergraduates, as it introduces the more difficult mathematics with a minimum ... Read more
