Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, first published in 1905, radically changed our understanding of the world. Familiar notions of space and time and energy were turned on their head, and our struggle with Einstein's counterintuitive explanation of these concepts was under way. The task is no easier today than it was a hundred years ago, but in this book Sander Bais has found an original and uniquely effective way to convey the fundamental ideas of Einstein's Special Theory. Bais's previous book, The Equations, was widely read and roundly praised for its clear and commonsense explanation of the math in physics. Very Special Relativity brings the same accessible approach to Einstein's theory. Using a series of easy-to-follow diagrams and employing only elementary high school geometry, Bais conducts readers through the quirks and quandaries of such fundamental concepts as simultaneity, causality, and time dilation. The diagrams also illustrate the difference between the Newtonian view, in which time was universal, and the Einsteinian, in which the speed of light is universal. Following Bais's straightforward sequence of simple, commonsense arguments, readers can tinker with the theory and its great paradoxes and, finally, arrive at a truly deep understanding of Einstein's interpretation of space and time. An intellectual journey into the heart of the Special Theory, the book offers an intimate look at the terms and ideas that define our reality.

In Precipice we meet the charming, conniving Crystal Autry, a young woman from a tiny town in Alabama, adrift in post-World War II Europe. Crystal is on a quest, searching for easy amours and accommodations as well as a missing link in her own story. Insinuating herself into the villa of the rich and mysterious Miranda, Crystal sets out to charm her and sashay into her elevated society. Miranda's erratic behavior is mystifying, but Crystal sees that only as encouragement to her own plans. Shrouded in regrets and harboring deep pain, Miranda and Crystal are both damaged by their pasts, uncertain of their futures. Set in the gorgeous landscape of the Mediterranean coast in the late 1940s, with an outrageous cast of characters, Precipice is the riveting story of two women haunted by their pasts and flirting with catastrophe. In the end both must decide whether to embrace a life of deceit and despair, or dare to follow the path that leads to the precipice.
