reviewed Basic Relativity on November 13, 2016 Basic Relativity
I chose this book for a college science course I am teaching because I thought the theme of dialog between great scientists was interesting. Unfortunately Newton and Einstein end up being one-dimensional caricatures of the real historical persons who describe the physics at hand in simplistic, sometimes inaccurate, and often ahistorical ways. I was hoping for a meaningful dialog between historical personalities, but instead found a cliched and oversimplified story with little connection to the depth of the developing thought on the nature of physical reality.
