Resumen del editor
CHOICE Highly Recommended Title, August 2019.
Expertly guided by renowned cosmologist Dr. David Lyth, learn about the pioneering scientists whose work provided the foundation for Einstein’s formulation of his theories of relativity, and about Einstein's groundbreaking life and work as well. This easy-to-understand and accessible panorama of the field delicately balances history and science as it takes the listener on an adventure through the centuries. Without complex mathematics or scientific formulae, this book will be of interest to all, even those without a scientific background, who are intrigued to find out more about what paved the way for one of our most famous physicists to push the boundaries of physics to new lengths.
Features:
- Written by an internationally renowned physicist and cosmologist
- Describes the life and times of Einstein and his important predecessors
- Focuses on one of the most famous areas of science, Einstein’s Relativity Theory.
Reseñas de la crítica
"Lyth, emeritus professor at the UK's Lancaster University and a well-known specialist in cosmology, has written a brief, readable history of the physical theories leading up to the conception of Einstein's general theory of relativity. The history is told through the biographies of ten scientists who were instrumental in laying the groundwork for general relativity.... Supplementing the biography is a short discussion of the contributions of each scientist and how they propelled us toward general relativity. This book is well worth a spot in a college and community college library. Readers of all levels will find something of interest within. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels."—A. Spero, formerly of the University of California in CHOICE, August 2019
