Book Overview

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.
