Now, physicist Leonard Susskind, assisted by André Cabannes, returns to tackle Einstein's general theory of relativity. Starting from the equivalence principle and covering the necessary mathematics of Riemannian spaces and tensor calculus, Susskind and Cabannes explain the link between gravity and geometry. They delve into black holes, establish Einstein field equations, and solve them to describe gravity waves. The authors provide vivid explanations that, to borrow a phrase from Einstein himself, are as simple as possible (but no simpler).  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e An approachable yet rigorous introduction to one of the most important topics in physics, \u003ci\u003e General Relativity\u003c\/i\u003e is a must-read for anyone who wants a deeper knowledge of the universe's real structure.   \u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLeonard Susskind \u003c\/b\u003eis the Felix Bloch professor of Theoretical Physics at Stanford University.
