About this title

Synopsis

The author assesses Einstein's vision and discusses such questions as how a black hole can keep you young and why a falling person feels no force of gravity. From the author of "Spaceship Earth" and "Violent Universe".

Review

A valuable contribution to the de-mystification of relativity. ("Nature") Calder's gift for simplifying the complex has rarely been better demonstrated. ("San Francisco Examiner & Chronicle")
