Isbn: 9781927763308 - space, time and gravitation: an outline of the general relativity theory (15 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: Good. This classic book is essential reading for all those interested in the development of modern physics. Sir Arthur Eddington's account of the general theory of relativity, 'without, ' as he says in his preface, 'introducing anything very technical in the way of mathematics, physics or philosophy', was first published in the exciting days of 1920 soon after the first objective tests of the theory had demonstrated its validity. The book was at once received with acclamation by reviewers and remains today one of the simplest and most straightforward accounts in print. The reviewer in the Athenaeum described it as 'a masterly book. The arrangement, the vigour and ease of the reasoning, the felicity of illustration, the clear, flexible prose and (we must mention it) the wit, make this book one of the most adequate and engaging attempts at the non-technical exposition of a scientific theory that it has ever been our good fortune to encounter.' This reissue includes a foreword by Sir Hermann Bondi, FRS, giving a brief appraisal of the book, and placing it in its historical and scientific context.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This volume contains new publications of A. S. Eddington's famous book Space, Time and Gravitation: An Outline of the General Relativity Theory, written for a wider audience, and two short pieces originally published in Nature - an article on time (The Relativity of Time) and a Letter to the Editor on space ('Space' or 'Aether' ). The short Nature publications are included in the volume because they shed additional (and still important today) light on some aspects of the (then) new views of space, time and gravitation. In 1921 in a review in the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society Edwin Bidwell Wilson wrote that Eddington's book 'is undoubtedly the best general presentation' of general relativity. Today it is still one of the best general presentations because it is written not only by a skilled popularizer of science but also by one of the three (as the legend has it) experts on general relativity at that time.…
