Book Descriptions:
Many regard Albert Einstein as the greatest physicist since Newton. What exactly did he do that is so important in physics? We provide an introduction to his physics at a level accessible to an undergraduate physics student. All equations are worked out in detail from the beginning.

Einstein's doctoral thesis and his Brownian motion paper were decisive contributions to our understanding of matter as composed of molecules and atoms. Einstein was one of the founding fathers of quantum theory: his photon proposal through the investigation of blackbody radiation, his quantum theory of photoelectric effect and specific heat, his calculation of radiation fluctuation giving the first statement of wave-particle duality, his introduction of probability in the description of quantum
radiative transitions, and finally the quantum statistics and Bose-Einstein condensation. Einstein's special theory of relativity gave us the famous E=mc² relation and the new kinematics leading to the idea of the 4-dimensional spacetime as the arena in which physical events take place. Einstein's
geometric theory of gravity, general relativity, extends Newton's theory to time-dependent and strong gravitational fields. It laid the ground work for the study of black holes and cosmology.

This is a physics book with material presented in the historical context. We do not stop at Einstein's discovery, but carry the discussion onto some of the later advances: Bell's theorem, quantum field theory, gauge theories and Kaluza-Klein unification in a spacetime with an extra spatial dimension.

Accessibility of the material to a modern-day reader is the goal of our presentation. Although the book is written with primarily a physics readership in mind (it can also function as a textbook), enough pedagogical support material is provided that anyone with a solid background in introductory physics can, with some effort, understand a good part of this presentation.

Einstein's Physics: Atoms, Quanta, and Relativity - Derived, Explained, and Appraised by Ta-Pei Cheng

From reader reviews:

Sheri Furlong:

Have you spare time for a day? What do you do when you have more or little spare time? Sure, you can choose the suitable activity regarding spend your time. Any person spent their spare time to take a walk, shopping, or went to the actual Mall. How about open as well as read a book entitled Einstein's Physics: Atoms, Quanta, and Relativity - Derived, Explained, and Appraised? Maybe it is for being best activity for you. You realize beside you can spend your time with the favorite's book, you can wiser than before. Do you agree with their opinion or you have various other opinion?

Jackson Ponce:

Information is provisions for individuals to get better life, information presently can get by anyone on everywhere. The information can be a know-how or any news even a huge concern. What people must be consider if those information which is inside former life are difficult to be find than now's taking seriously which one is appropriate to believe or which one the particular resource are convinced. If you find the unstable resource then you get it as your main information you will have huge disadvantage for you. All of those possibilities will not happen inside you if you take Einstein's Physics: Atoms, Quanta, and Relativity - Derived, Explained, and Appraised as the daily resource information.

Ray Shippee:

Playing with family within a park, coming to see the water world or hanging out with close friends is thing that usually you may have done when you have spare time, and then why you don't try matter that really opposite from that. One particular activity that make you not experiencing tired but still relaxing, trilling like on roller coaster you already been ride on and with addition of knowledge. Even you love Einstein's Physics: Atoms, Quanta, and Relativity - Derived, Explained, and Appraised, you may enjoy both. It is good combination right, you still need to miss it? What kind of hangout type is it? Oh can occur its mind hangout guys. What? Still don't understand it, oh come on its identified as reading friends.

Susan Douglas:

Reading a e-book make you to get more knowledge as a result. You can take knowledge and information from a book. Book is written or printed or descriptive from each source this filled update of news. In this particular modern era like right now, many ways to get information are available for you. From media social like newspaper, magazines, science publication, encyclopedia, reference book, book and comic. You can add your understanding by that book. Are you ready to spend your spare time to spread out your book? Or just in search of the Einstein's Physics: Atoms, Quanta, and Relativity - Derived, Explained, and Appraised when you needed it?
