Questo libro è stato ideato per un corso che spieghi, nella maniera più semplice possibile, le Teorie della Relatività Ristretta e Generale a studenti che si accostano ad esse per la prima volta. I contenuti di queste due teorie fanno ormai parte del bagaglio culturale necessario ad ogni fisico e ad ogni matematico e, in particolare, esse costituiscono un insieme di conoscenze indispensabili per chiunque si occupi di fisica, astrofisica e cosmologia. This book is designed to explain, in the simplest way possible, the Theories of Special and General Relativity to students who are approaching them for the first time. The contents of these two theories are now part of the cultural background needed by every physicist and mathematician, and, in particular, they constitute an indispensable body of knowledge for anyone involved in physics, astrophysics and cosmology.

"Iconoclastic physics professor and artist Andrzej Dragan presents a unique feast of knowledge on special relativity in a straightforward, progressive manner that even a savvy high school student could follow. Encompassing the derivation of Lorentz transformations to Wigner rotations and Thomas precession; from non-inertial accelerated reference frames to event horizons, curved spacetime, and static black holes; and from the Doppler effect to relativistic structure of electromagnetism, Dragan peels back the enigmatic layers of modern physics to enable a deeper understanding of Einstein's groundbreaking theory. Comprehensive and elegantly written, full of insightful apparent paradoxes and riddles, but without any complicated math, Dragan's unique overview takes the reader well beyond the orthodox verses of standard Special Relativity to the bleeding edge of "new-fangled" superluminal apocrypha and their relation to Quantum Theory. The book is based on a course on Special Relativity and acclaimed by students taught by Dragan who is a leader of a research group on Relativistic Quantum Information theory at the University of Warsaw and the National University of Singapore"--
