Witty, perceptive, and easily accessible to the general reader, it is one of the clearest and most entertaining introductions to relativity ever written.\nMr. Gardner offers lucid explanations of not only the special and general theories of relativity, but of the Michelson-Morley experiment, gravity and spacetime, Mach's principle, the twin paradox, models of the universe, and other topics. A new Postscript, examining the latest developments in the field, and specially written for this edition, is also included.\nThe clarity of the text is especially enhanced by the brilliant graphics of Anthony Ravielli, making this \"by far the best layman's account of this difficult subject.\" — Christian Science Monitor.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0486293157\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0486293157.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Gardner, Martin\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
