How Einstein Created Relativity out of Physics and Astronomy (Astrophysics and Space Science Library Book 394) 2013th Edition by David Topper (PDF)

Description

This book tracks the history of the theory of relativity through Einstein’s life, with in-depth studies of its background as built upon by ideas from earlier scientists. The focus points of Einstein’s theory of relativity include its development throughout his life; the origins of his ideas and his indebtedness to the earlier works of Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Mach and others; the application of the theory to the birth of modern cosmology; and his quest for a unified field theory. Treading a fine line between the popular and technical (but not shying away from the occasional equation), this book explains the entire range of relativity and weaves an up-to-date biography of Einstein throughout. The result is an explanation of the world of relativity, based on an extensive journey into earlier physics and a simultaneous voyage into the mind of Einstein, written for the curious and intelligent reader.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐David Topper tracks Einstein on his trajectory to Relativity — both Special and General — offering unique insights. I learned that the history of emerging ideas is an integral part of our understanding of their new concepts. There are many books about Einstein. Topper’s is well worth more than one read.

⭐I very much enjoyed this book. The historical narrative is accurate, and conveyed in a clear lucid style. The author provides an excellent historical introduction to Galilean relativity, the special theory, the general theory and cosmology. Highly recommended for students and the public alike.
