More George F. R. Ellis, R. M. Williams, "" The present book explains special relativity and the basics of general relativity from a geometric viewpoint. Space-time geometry is emphasized throughout, and provides the basis of understanding of the special relativity effects of time dilation, length contraction, and the relativity of simultaneity. Bondi's K-calculus is introduced as a simple means of calculating the magnitudes of these effects, and leads to a derivation of the Lorentz transformation as a way of unifying these results. The invariant interval of flat space-time is generalised to that of curved space-times, and leads to an understanding of the basic properties of simple cosmological models and of the collapse of a star to form a black hole. The appendices enable the advanced student to master the application of four-tensors to the relativistic study of energy and momentum, and of electromagnetism. In addition, this new edition contains up-to-date information on black holes, gravitational collapse, and cosmology. Summary: An excellent and crystal clear presentation of relativity. Rating: 5 This is one of the best introductions to the subject that I've read. The explanations are transparent with ample illustrations and examples. There are also many exercises to help the reader enforce what he has learned. There is also a very helpful annoted bibliography (actually the Afterword) which guides the reader to more advanced reading. It is really a shame that this book is not quoted more often. Overall, this is a very fine book. Not all books on / appear on the homepage. In order not to miss many of them follow Download Link (Ebooks section) (see top of each page on AH) and visit too :)
