Synopsis:

Written by two of the field's true pioneers, Spacetime Physics can extend and enhance coverage of specialty relativity in the classroom. This thoroughly up-to-date, highly accessible overview covers microgravity, collider accelerators, satellite probes, neutron detectors, radioastronomy, and pulsars. The chapter on general relativity with new material on gravity waves, black holes, and cosmology.

Synopsis: Edwin Taylor and John A. Wheeler-one of this century's most distinguished physicists - have completely reorganised this popular and well known book to make it accessible to an even wider audience. New topics, imaginative problems, and exceptionally clever illustrations, combined with a compelling narrative and intellectual authority make this a classic text. It is an ideal text for undergraduate courses in special relativity and modern physics.
