Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A readable and entertaining look at how Einstein?s special theory of relativity gives us a new understanding of the nature of timeRelativity ought to be an important part of everyone's education. Its subject is time, with which we all think we are familiar. Einstein's special theory of relativity reveals that some of our most intuitive notions about time are shockingly wrong. This clear, lively, and informal exposition of special relativity takes a highly original approach to introduce readers to the true nature of time. It is accessible to anyone who remembers a little high school algebra and elementary geometry. It?s About Time offers deep insights to curious readers who have no technical scientific background. …

Cover: clean, bright, light rubbing to edges. Ships from California. Ships same or next day (weekdays and Saturdays)! ABOUT THIS: In It's About Time, N. David Mermin asserts that relativity ought to be an important part of everyone's education--after all, it is largely about time, a subject with which all are familiar. The book reveals that some of our most intuitive notions about time are shockingly wrong, and that the real nature of time discovered by Einstein can be rigorously explained without advanced mathematics. This readable exposition of the nature of time as addressed in Einstein's theory of relativity is accessible to anyone who remembers a little high school algebra and elementary plane geometry. The book evolved as Mermin taught the subject to diverse groups of undergraduates at Cornell University, none of them science majors, over three and a half decades. Mermin's approach is imaginative, yet accurate and complete. Clear, lively, and informal, the book will appeal to intellectually curious readers of all kinds, including even professional physicists, who will be intrigued by its highly original approach. …

Condition: Very Good. : En "It's About Time", N. David Mermin sostiene que la relatividad debería ser una parte fundamental de la educación de todos, ya que trata sobre el tiempo, un concepto con el que todos estamos familiarizados. El libro revela que algunas de nuestras nociones más intuitivas sobre el tiempo son erróneas y explica la verdadera naturaleza del tiempo descubierta por Einstein sin necesidad de matemáticas avanzadas. Es una exposición clara y accesible para cualquier persona que recuerde un poco de álgebra y geometría plana de secundaria.El libro surgió de la experiencia docente de Mermin con estudiantes universitarios en la Universidad de Cornell durante más de tres décadas. Con un enfoque imaginativo, preciso y completo, esta obra resulta atractiva tanto para lectores curiosos como para físicos profesionales, quienes encontrarán fascinante su perspectiva original sobre la teoría de la relatividad.
