Beginning with the flat earth of Ancient Egypt, where tax collectors developed the principles of geometry, John L. Friedman<\/strong> moves through the centuries to show us how science has effected our understanding of concepts such as up or down, of two events happening in the same place at the same time, of space as being flat, and also our sense of what is in the past and what is in the future. Suitable for use at both the high-school and college levels, \u201cSpace, Time, Einstein, and Spacetime\u201d provides a fascinating twist on how science has changed how we understand the physical universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
