General Relativity: The Theoretical Minimum (UK Edition)
The latest volume in the New York Times bestselling physics series explains Einstein’s masterpiece: the general theory of relativity
He taught us classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and special relativity. Now, physicist Leonard Susskind, assisted by a new collaborator, André Cabannes, returns to tackle Einstein’s general theory of relativity. Starting from the equivalence principle and covering the necessary mathematics of Riemannian spaces and tensor calculus, Susskind and Cabannes explain the link between gravity and geometry. They delve into black holes, establish Einstein field equations, and solve them to describe gravity waves. The authors provide vivid explanations that, to borrow a phrase from Einstein himself, are as simple as possible (but no simpler).
An approachable yet rigorous introduction to one of the most important topics in physics, General Relativity is a must-read for anyone who wants a deeper knowledge of the universe’s real structure
广义相对论：理论最小值（英国版）
《纽约时报》畅销物理学系列的最新一卷解释了爱因斯坦的杰作：广义相对论
他教我们经典力学、量子力学和狭义相对论。现在，物理学家伦纳德·苏斯金德在一位新的合作者安德雷·卡班尼斯的协助下，重新开始研究爱因斯坦的广义相对论。从等价原理出发，涵盖黎曼空间和张量微积分的必要数学，Susskind和Cabannes解释了引力和几何之间的联系。他们研究黑洞，建立爱因斯坦场方程，并求解它们来描述引力波。作者们提供了生动的解释，借用爱因斯坦自己的一句话，尽可能简单（但并不简单）。
《广义相对论》是对物理学中最重要的主题之一的一个平易近人而又严谨的介绍，是任何想要深入了解宇宙真实结构的人的必读之书
