«Relativity and Common Sense» is Hermann Bondi's popular science essay, published by Dover Publications in paperback (177 pages, in English).
Introduction to Einstein's special relativity that starts from Newtonian ideas rather than opposing them. Hermann Bondi addresses force, momentum, rotation, sound and light, and explains that time is relative: high speeds alter it and acceleration modifies speed, time and mass. It requires very little mathematics and relies on 60 illustrations.
The revised 1980 edition carries the subtitle «A New Approach to Einstein».
For those approaching the theory of relativity for the first time and preferring a conceptual explanation without complex formulas.
