Lieber provides a thorough explanation of Albert Einsteins theory of relativity. Her delightful style, in combination with her husbands charming illustrations, makes for an interesting and accessible read about one of the most celebrated ideas of all times.A clear and vivid exposition of the essential ideas and methods of the theory of relativitycan be warmly recommended especially to those who cannot spend too much time on the subject.Albert EinsteinIf you know highschool math, are not afraid of equations, and want to find out what Einstein really said, read Lillian Liebers book. She will lead you through special and general relativity, helping you at every step to understand the essential equations, including tensors, with amazing clarity and conciseness. This uniquely charming book remains as vivid as ever and even more helpful, thanks to the excellent new foreward and notes by David Derbes and Robert Jantzen.Peter Pesic, author of Abels Proof: An Essay on the Sources and Meaning of Mathematical Unsolvability and Sky in a BottleDoes the nature of time fascinate you?
