Editorial Reviews
Review
Helliwell's book strikes a tone that will be very effective with a wide population of students. The writing is very accessible and conveys excitement and engagement. The problems are abundant, and students will enormously appreciate the carefully worked examples throughout. This text chooses a middle road and has a "practical flavor" that is often obscured in other books. ---Louis Buchholtz, California State University at Chico<br /><br />Judging from his book, Helliwell must be a fine teacher. He achieves a rare clarity. For instance, the derivation of the standard kinematic results starting from Einstein s postulates is outstandingly clear. Throughout, he shows an unusual and sympathetic appreciation of the problems faced by the beginning student. ---John Taylor, University of Colorado<br /><br />Special Relativity by Helliwell is a very well written book that should be easy for the students to read and understand without much help from the instructor. The topics are very clearly explained with a lot of detail and clear illustrations. This book is definitely much better than the books I have read on this topic, and I would recommend it to any instructor who plans to teach a course on special relativity. For anyone teaching special relativity as a part of a Modern Physics course, this book offers valuable supplementary reading. - --Shirvel Stanislaus, Valparaiso University
