Relativity: A Very Short IntroductionIf you move at high speed, time slows down, space squashes up and you get heavier.

If you move at high speed, time slows down, space squashes up and you get heavier. Travel fast enough and you could weigh as much as a jumbo jet, be flattened thinner than a CD without feeling a thing-and live forever As for the angles of a triangle, they do not always have to add up to 180 degrees. And then, of course, there are black holes. These are but a few of the extraordinary consequences of Einstein's theory of relativity. It is now over a hundred years since he made these discoveries, and yet the general public is still largely unaware of them. Filled with illuminating anecdotes and fascinating accounts of experiments, this book aims to introduce the interested lay person to the subject of relativity in a way which is accessible and engaging and at the same time scientifically rigorous. With relatively few mathematical equations--nothing more complicated than the Pythagoras's Theorem--this VSI packs a lot time into very little space, and for anyone who has felt intimidated by Einstein's groundbreaking theory, it offers the perfect place to start.About the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.

Useful
Color: Black
It works for a key holder, but if the keys are heavy, you may have a problem.

Exactly what I was looking for
Color: Black Frame
I wanted to get something to help organize my everyday items without looking too tacky. I love the simplicity and sleek design. The dividers allow me to section off certain items while keeping everything in one place. The quality of the materials look and feel sturdy with an elegant touch.

Useful, Nicely-Designed Organizational Tray
Color: Black Frame
Purchased on behalf of another person, when asked they stated they adored this dresser tray. They found it the right size to hold everything they needed it to, a helpful way to stay organized, and easy to move and use. The price is what made them purchase it but they found it to be of a nice quality once they got it set up and have been using it daily ever since. Would recommend.

Stylish, well sized valet tray. Would highly recommend
Color: Brown Frame
Stylish valet for your dresser, desk or wherever you would like to place it. I got tired (and so did my wife) of me just emptying my pockets on the dresser at the end of each day. Junk would accumulate, change would accumulate and everything was all spread out. This tray is stylish and made of good quality leather. I really like the different size partitions making its storage capacity perfect and done so neatly. Now my items are organized and easy to grab the next day making it functional at the same time.
