Riassunto:

The third volume in the bestselling physics series cracks open Einstein's special relativity and field theory. 
 
“This is physics the way it's really done, in all its glory, nothing swept under the rug.”―Sean Carroll, author of The Biggest Ideas in the Universe 

Physicist Leonard Susskind and data engineer Art Friedman are back. This time, they introduce readers to Einstein's special relativity and Maxwell's classical field theory. Using their typical brand of real math, enlightening drawings, and humor, Susskind and Friedman walk us through the complexities of waves, forces, and particles by exploring special relativity and electromagnetism. It's a must-read for both devotees of the series and any armchair physicist who wants to improve their knowledge of physics' deepest truths. 

Informazioni sull'autore: Leonard Susskind is the Felix Bloch professor of Theoretical Physics at Stanford University. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a recipient of the Dirac Medal, the Galileo Medal, and the Carl Sagan Award for Science Popularization, among numerous other honors. He is the author of the New York Times-bestselling The Theoretical Minimum series. He lives in Palo Alto, California.   

Art Friedman is a data consultant who previously spent fifteen years at Hewlett-Packard as a software engineer. A lifelong student of physics, he lives in Murphys, California.
