Relativity: A Very Short IntroductionIf you move at high speed, time slows down, space squashes up and you get heavier. Travel fast enough and you could weigh as much as a jumbo jet, be flattened thinner than a CD without feeling a thing and live forever As for the angles of a triangle, they do not always have to add up to 180 degrees.

If you move at high speed, time slows down, space squashes up and you get heavier. Travel fast enough and you could weigh as much as a jumbo jet, be flattened thinner than a CD without feeling a thing-and live forever As for the angles of a triangle, they do not always have to add up to 180 degrees. And then, of course, there are black holes. These are but a few of the extraordinary consequences of Einstein's theory of relativity. It is now over a hundred years since he made these discoveries, and yet the general public is still largely unaware of them. Filled with illuminating anecdotes and fascinating accounts of experiments, this book aims to introduce the interested lay person to the subject of relativity in a way which is accessible and engaging and at the same time scientifically rigorous. With relatively few mathematical equations--nothing more complicated than the Pythagoras's Theorem--this VSI packs a lot time into very little space, and for anyone who has felt intimidated by Einstein's groundbreaking theory, it offers the perfect place to start.About the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.

Pretty good
Format: Kindle
I'm pretty excited for issue #2, Batman and Robin costume look really cool.
And I like how killer croc is more of a gentle giant instead of a monster, but I have a feeling that he's gonna turn evil. But then again you never know.

self contained!
Format: Kindle
What comics have been missing for years that has made collecting them a drag has been the loss of single issue tales that connect to a larger story. This has it as well as some great art and bat electric gauntlets. I love it. Can’t wait to read more.

Amazing
Format: Hardcover
What can I say about this Absolute series other than it being absolutely perfect! All of them in the whole series are a very good read. They are colorful and artistic, and the stories are great! I was starting to get worried about comics before these came out because they were starting to get boring but wow, these are amazing.
