A Student's Guide to Special Relativity (Student's Guides)

Too chatty
Yes, it is possible to write an SR book that (to me, anyway) comes across too busy and chatty. I am not new to SR but am always looking for a good treatment for review, consolidation, and hopefully additional insights. Alas, length of life doesn't permit me to stick with this one.It would be better for someone at the start of their SR studies - it would hard to get lost!

Approved Instructor
Be aware that access to exercise answers is only available to Instructors approved by Cambridge! Product description implies that going on line allows ANYONE access. I registered and questioned why I could not go further and received a lengthy response from a tech that I need to be an approved Instructor. I’m not.I gave a 3 for review because the content is very good. But solved problems often reveal what is difficult to put in words, especially technical books.I suspect all “A Student’s Guide to…..,” books have this restriction.Amazon should note this.
