Product Information
A brief introduction to gravity through Einstein's general theory of relativity Of the four fundamental forces of nature, gravity might be the least understood and yet the one with which we are most intimate. From the months each of us spent suspended in the womb anticipating birth to the moments when we wait for sleep to transport us to other realities, we are always aware of gravity. In On Gravity , physicist A. Zee combines profound depth with incisive accessibility to take us on an original and compelling tour of Einstein's general theory of relativity. Inspired by Einstein's audacious suggestion that spacetime could ripple, Zee begins with the stunning discovery of gravity waves. He goes on to explain how gravity can be understood in comparison to other classical field theories, presents the idea of curved spacetime and the action principle, and explores cutting-edge topics, including black holes and Hawking radiation. Zee travels as far as the theory reaches, leaving us with tantalizing hints of the utterly unknown, from the intransigence of quantum gravity to the mysteries of dark matter and energy. Concise and precise, and infused with Zee's signature warmth and freshness of style, On Gravity opens a unique pathway to comprehending relativity and gaining deep insight into gravity, spacetime, and the workings of the universe.

"[ On Gravity ] is concise, timely . . . [and] by the end of the book, you will be breathless, but up to date with the latest advances in the science. It'e(tm)s a tour intended to take the reader a step beyond a popular treatment and give a deeper glimpse of the beautiful and uncompromising structure underlying the theory." ---Tara Shears, Times Higher Education, " On Gravity is a delightful and engaging tour of Einstein'e(tm)s great triumph'e"the general theory of relativity'e"by one of our best tour guides, A. Zee. A fun and fascinating read."

This book gives a different and new perspective and will surely generate interest." 'e"Alberto Vecchio, University of Birmingham, "If you already know a bit about the topic, and are not afraid of a few equations, On Gravity will take you deeper (if you are very brave, the appendix will even explain the meaning of curved space-time)." ---John Gribbin, Wall Street Journal, "Rigorous and original, On Gravity provides an insightful presentation of the key concepts of gravity and general relativity.
