How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog by Chad Orzel
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Accessible and featuring a cast of characters to delight or ignore, this book agilely moves from special and general relativity to such contemporary topics as the Higgs boson and the Standard Model. At just over three hundred pages, this work is a compact general audience introduction that is succinct and artfully instructive. It is not the 'conversations with his dog' premise that can make this book a successful disquisition of relativistic physics; it is the economy and clarity of elucidation.
