Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Relativity' is an authoritative and systematic exposition of one of the most transformative developments in the history of science. Written during a pivotal era for modern physics, this work provides a comprehensive introduction to both the special and general theories of relativity. Designed for students and scholars of physical science, the text bridges the gap between popular accounts and highly technical monographs, offering a rigorous mathematical framework while remaining focused on the physical implications of the theory.The book delves into the fundamental concepts of space and time, the Lorentz transformations, and the principle of equivalence. The work masterfully guides the reader through the mathematical intricacies of tensor calculus and the four-dimensional continuum, leading to the profound conclusions of Einsteinian gravitation. As a significant historical contribution to scientific literature, 'Relativity' reflects the intellectual excitement of the early 20th century, serving as both a pedagogical tool and a clear record of how these revolutionary ideas were synthesized for the academic community of the time.This volume remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the foundations of theoretical physics and the historical evolution of our understanding of the universe.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 12mo (17 cm), 78, [2] pp. Printed wrappers (wrappers slightly dusted). A popular scientific introduction to Einstein's theory of relativity, first published in June 1927 and reprinted seven times within five years, reflecting the remarkable public interest in modern physics during the interwar period. Written by James Rice, M.A., Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Liverpool, the book was expressly intended for readers without mathematical training, explaining one of the most revolutionary scientific theories of the twentieth century in clear, non-technical language. Organized into seven chapters--Space; The Newtonian Theory; Absolute Space and Time; The Optical Phenomena; The Electromagnetic Theory of Light and Matter, and Lorentz's Solution of the Absolute Motion Difficulty; The Special Theory of Relativity; and The General Theory--the exposition begins with the classical mechanics of Galileo and Newton before tracing the experimental and theoretical developments that undermined the concept of absolute space and time, including the Michelson-Morley experiment, the Fitzgerald contraction hypothesis, and Lorentz's electron theory. Rice then presents Einstein's special and general theories of relativity in an accessible historical framework, emphasizing their physical significance rather than mathematical formulation, and concludes with a concise bibliography for further reading. A lucid and well-constructed popular account representative of the early efforts to introduce Einstein's ideas to the educated general reader.…
