Yes, but I was specially interested in a good textbpok
 
Well, you would have gotten better responses by saying:

I have looked at various online sources on ... , (such as ...) but would appreciate a good textbook treatment.

If I were not in a good mood when I saw your post, I might have just reported it for 'no attempt to answer on own'.
 
My fault.

Sorry and thank you.
 

Thread 'Am I understanding the concept of proper frame of reference?'

MOVING CLOCKS In this section, we show that clocks moving at high speeds run slowly. We construct a clock, called a light clock, using a stick of proper lenght ##L_0##, and two mirrors. The two mirrors face each other, and a pulse of light bounces back and forth betweem them. Each time the light pulse strikes one of the mirrors, say the lower mirror, the clock is said to tick. Between successive ticks the light pulse travels a distance ##2L_0## in the proper reference of frame of the clock...
