A Student's Guide to Einstein's Major Papers£32.49 Robert E Kennedy
9780199694037 In 1905 Albert Einstein produced breakthrough work in three major areas of physics (atoms and Brownian motion, quanta, and the special theory of relativity), followed, in 1916, by the general theory of relativity. This book develops the detail of the papers, including the mathematics, to guide the reader in working through them. |

Relativity, Gravitation and Cosmology: A Basic IntroductionSecond Edition £29.50 Ta-Pei Cheng
9780199573646 Oxford Master Series in Physics This book provides an introduction to Einstein's general theory of relativity. A "physics-first" approach is adopted so that interesting applications come before the more difficult task of solving the Einstein equation. The book includes extensive coverage of cosmology, and is designed to allow readers to study the subject alone. |
