John Archibald Wheeler's fascinating life brings us face to face with the central characters and discoveries of modern physics. He was the first American to learn of the disc[...]
Einstein's standard and battle-tested geometric theory of gravity - spacetime tells mass how to move and mass tells spacetime how to curve - is expounded in this book by Ignazio Ciufolini and John Wheeler. They give special attention to the theory's observational checks and to two of its consequence[...]
Edwin Taylor and John A. Wheeler-one of this century's most distinguished physicists - have completely reorganised this popular and well known book to make it accessible to an even wider audience.
