Book Description:
Einstein Relatively Simple brings together for the first time an exceptionally clear explanation of both special and general relativity. It is for people who always wanted to understand Einstein’s ideas but never thought it possible.
Told with humor, enthusiasm, and rare clarity, this entertaining book reveals how a former high school drop-out revolutionized our concepts of space and time. From E=mc2 and everyday time travel to black holes and the big bang, the book takes us all, regardless of any scientific background, on a mindboggling journey through the depths of Einstein's universe.
Along the way, we track Einstein through the perils and triumphs of his life — follow his thinking,
his logic, and his insights — and chronicle the audacity, imagination, and sheer genius of the man
recognized as the greatest scientist of the modern era.
"The writing is vivid, reader-friendly and focuses on fascinating contemporary physics. Mark Egdall knows how to explain physics, correctly, to non-scientists."
- Art Hobson, Professor Emeritus of Physics, University of Arkansas
"It’s terrific. Extremely well written, understandable, and displays a logical and clear development and explication of some of the most hard-to-understand ideas in the world . . . (Egdall) has a considerable talent for explaining erudite concepts to the lay reader in clear and concise writing. He may be the next Asimov or Sagan."
- John DeChancie, Author, Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Non-Fiction
"Extremely well written . . . I actually love the way (the book) interweaves the history and personalities of the scientists with the actual science. Having read many, many relativity books , I find the book one of the most complete survey books I have seen . . . If you only read one book on special and general relativity, this is the one to read."
- Dr. James Webb, Director, SARA Observatory
"A great book! Writing style is excellent . . . casual and often humorous . . . explains complex concepts with patience and clarity . . . greatly enjoyed tracking of Einstein through the perils and triumphs of his life.
