Gravity from the Ground Up : An Introductory Guide to Gravity and General Relativity
Editorial Reviews
Review
Advanced praise: '... A marvellous work! What strikes me is its immense range and its solid authority. For me this will be a great resource of encyclopedic knowledge, powerful models, and balanced judgement about our Universe.' Professor Edwin F. Taylor, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
'... this splendid book ... is in fact a guide to everything that is needed to understand astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology ...'. Physics World
'This beautifully produced book is evidently the result of a labour of love ... Schutz writes for people who not only want to be amazed but who also want to know how it is that scientists know all the amazing things they talk about on beautifully make documentaries.' CERN Courier.com
Book Description
This book provides an accessible introduction to astronomy and general relativity, aiming to explain the Universe, not just to describe it. Written by an expert in relativity who is known for his clearly-written advanced textbooks, the treatment uses only high-school level mathematics, supplemented by optional computer programs, to explain the laws of physics governing gravity from Galileo and Newton to Einstein.
