I have acquired a copy of this book. Is it even worth the price I paid for it?

I got it for free.

I have just been informed that the author is our newest Mentor!

How cool. Guess I don't have to be concerned that the book was written by a crackpot!

I am currently working as a contractor for HP. They have several printers running nearby by my work area which are capable of spitting out about 2 pages a second. They have been printing about anything they can find with no copyright. I have picked up a 1911 history of Oregon, Frankenstein, Dracula, several of Shakespeare's plays, a Diffy Eq book, Rough Riders by T. Roosevelt. Others that I cannot recall right now.

It looks like he's trying to do something different from the usual GR book. Very chatty, lighter on the mathematical details, and with lots of Mathematica scripts.

It seems like a good deal.

I can understand your concerns about the value of a resource, especially when it comes to scientific literature. However, I believe that the value of a book like "General Relativity" by Crowell goes beyond its monetary cost. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the complex concepts of general relativity. It presents the theory in a clear and concise manner, making it accessible to a wide audience.

Additionally, the content of this book has been written and reviewed by experts in the field, ensuring its accuracy and reliability. It also includes illustrations and examples that aid in the understanding of the concepts presented.

Furthermore, the ideas and principles of general relativity have had a profound impact on our understanding of the universe, and this book provides a solid foundation for further exploration and research in this area.

In conclusion, while the price of a book may be a factor to consider, the knowledge and insight gained from reading "General Relativity" by Crowell is invaluable and well worth the investment. I would highly recommend this book as a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning about the fascinating world of general relativity.
