Acceleration in Relativity : A Critical Introduction
Overview
This is a book for anyone who has been through a first course on general relativity and found some of the claims hard to integrate into their world picture. It is for the kind of person whose interest in physics does not stop at the elegant formulation but really wants to know what the underlying logic might be, or why it might work in practice. Only a superficial acquaintance with general relativity is assumed. The book treats the notion of accelerating frames in considerable detail, but also rigidity in relativity, dynamical explanations for relativistic effects, and the connection between self-forces and inertia. Calculations are spelt out in detail and all mathematical claims are proven.
