Relativity: Special, General, and Cosmological

An outstanding introductory treatise by one of the masters of the subject, this book belongs to the shelves of every physics library. Foundations of Physics Professor Rindler’s book should be of particular interest to readers concerned with the physical foundations of relativity theory. Foundations of Physics This rich and insightful introduction to modern gravitational physics is an extended and updated version of the author’s earlier excellent textbook Essential Relativity. Special relativity, general relativity, and cosmology are treated with exceptional clarity in the three parts of this book. It provides a thorough and conceptually rigorous introduction to relativistic physics. Foundations of Physics … a first-class presentation of the intellectual glory of the first century of relativity. Times Higher Education Supplement This book will find its place as recommended reading for many advanced undergraduate courses in relativity and cosmology, and is an excellent foundation for work in this field at graduate level and beyond.
