5.0 out of 5 stars A feast!, August 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Stars and Relativity (Dover Books on Physics) (Paperback)

No one writes science as Zeldovich! The physics is always at the forefront, by the use of clever models and analogies. Either whether you start your General Relativity here or read this book in parallel to more standard texts, you'll be a much better practitioner. The treatment of neutron stars, for instance, is "just elegant", as Marilyn Monroe would say.
