| Title | Einstein's physics: Atoms, Quanta, and Relativity Derived, Explained, and Appraised |
| Author(s) | Ta-Pei Cheng |
| Publication | Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2013. |
| Description | xx, 350p. |
| Abstract Note | This is a physics book with material presented in the historical context. We do not stop at Einstein's discovery, but carry the discussion onto some of the later advances: Bell's theorem, quantum field theory, gauge theories and Kaluza-Klein unification in a spacetime with an extra spatial dimension.
Accessibility of the material to a modern-day reader is the goal of our presentation. Although the book is written with primarily a physics readership in mind (it can also function as a textbook), enough pedagogical support material is provided that anyone with a solid background in introductory physics can, with some effort, understand a good part of this presentation. |
