5.0 out of 5 stars
Great content, but get it cheaper!
This book is an excellent introduction to special relativity. It very carefully distinguishes between the different types of time measurements. Also, it is one of the few introductory books that actually teaches the reader how to make use of spacetime diagrams. Advanced topics such as transformations of electromagnetic fields are not covered, but this this book will...

This book is an excellent introduction to special relativity. It very carefully distinguishes between the different types of time measurements. Also, it is one of the few introductory books that actually teaches the reader how to make use of spacetime diagrams. Advanced topics such as transformations of electromagnetic fields are not covered, but this this book will give you a strong basis for further study.
If want to get the same content for about $20 less, buy Unit R of Thomas Moore's Six Ideas That Shaped Physics. It seems that A Traveler's Guide to Spacetime became one volume in that series. Also, the Six Ideas book is in the second edition, but this book has not been updated.

One of the most easily understandable books in physics!!,

Not only did Thomas Moore write a great book, he is also an excellent teacher. It is relativity made easy. Be sure to look for the Six Ideas that Shaped Physics if you really want to learn general physics. Moore emphasizes the models of physics, not the equations generate dby these models.

This review is from: A Traveler's Guide To Spacetime (Paperback)
A Traveler's Guide to Spacetime is a wonderful introduction to the realm of Special Relativity. Moore presents the material in interesting format combining imaginative scenarios of evil space cadets with intuitive yet complicated equations.
