Space-Time, Relativity, and Cosmology
by Jose Wudka
"Space-Time, Relativity, and Cosmology provides a historical introduction to modern relativistic cosmology, and traces its historical roots and evolution from antiquity to Einstein. The topics are presented in a non-mathematical manner, with the emphasis on the ideas that underlie each theory, its predictions, and subsequent experimental evidence." "This textbook is intended for undergraduate students undertaking a science course in non-science majors. It is also accessible to advanced high school students, as well as to the non-scientist layman who is concerned with science issues."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Details
First Sentence
"Most of you, the readers, have probably tuned in to the news at one point or another to hear the anchor person begin a story with the phrase "Today scientists reported," probably followed by a description of something completely outside of your everyday experience: colliding microscopic particles, genetic engineering, or statements about the behavior of giant galaxies or the Big Bang."
