February 27, 2000: This is an excellent introduction to special relativity that makes this supposedly esoteric subject accessible to the masses, or at least to the masses who managed high school algebra. I first used it as a freshman in college and it served me well. Recently I had to write something on the speed of light from a speeding truck's headlights to answer a question a reader had asked of my OneTahiti persona on AOL. I was able to pull out this book and answer the question from it handily, even after all these years. I was delighted to find that the same 1968 edition I used is still available. Definitely recommended! I love this book!
