"British astronomer Arthur Stanley Eddington photographed the 1919 solar eclipse to prove Einstein's theory of general relativity by demonstrating that the sun's gravity could pull and bend light"--Provided by publisher.

"Part scientific explanation, part biography, this nonfiction picture book explores the life of the fabled apple tree that inspired Newton's theory of Gravity-from a minor seed to a monumental icon that has inspired the world's greatest minds for over three and a half centuries"--.

"An astronomer answers questions on the cutting edge of astrophysics to explore the science of black holes and their role in theoretical physics, from Einstein's equations of general relativity to testing string theory"--OCLC.

"In September of 2015, the scientific world was buzzing: gravitational waves had been detected. It was a dramatic and conclusive demonstration of Einstein's theory of general relativity--the most complex and far-reaching theory in the history of physics. Through detailed diagrams, . . . analogies, and . . . sidebars, this text cuts through the complexity and sophistication, providing an . . . introduction to the physics of waves, the implications of general relativity, and the ways in which gravitational waves can bring new understanding of the universe around us"--Provided by publisher.
