"This book offers a valuable exposition of the main topics in the special theory of relativity. ... The book is concise but clear and well written. It provides a number of interesting examples ... and worked exercises in every chapter, helping the reader to understand the topic at hand. ... The book would be appropriate as an introductory text on special relativity for graduate students." (Francesco Sorge, Mathematical Reviews, June, 2015)
