4.0 out of 5 stars A reader's opinion, August 14, 2000
By 
Lev Lomize (Ann Arbor, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Maxwell's Conundrum: A Serious But Not Ponderous Book About Relativity (Paperback)
The book is really serious and non-ponderous, as advertised. It differs from many popular books on special relativity in two respects: 1. The relativistic effects are presented in the book as absolutely real phenomena, which can't be interpreted or understood as seeming or invented by theorists. 2. The author did his best to explain the mechanisms of relativistic effects, which in most other books are either postulated or derived from Einstein's postulates so formally that a normal reader is plungrd in the ocean of bewilderment with little hope to get out of there.

This book is written for those people who are looking for the gist of relativity insted of following the postulates in a blindfolded manner.
