Physics - Relativity Special

Physics - Special Relativity - Books

Roger Penrose - The Road to Reality: Partly a 'popular science' book as it tries to minimise the number of equations but it still has lots of interesting results that its difficult to find elsewhere.

Spinors and Space-Time: Volume 1, Two-Spinor Calculus and Relativistic Fields (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics) by Roger Penrose and Wolfgang Rindler - This book is about the mathematics of special relativity, it very quickly goes over my head by I hope I will understand it one day.

Kinematical Theory of Spinning Particles: Classical and Quantum Mechanical Formalism of Elementary Particles (Fundamental Theories of Physics) (Paperback) by Martin Rivas

What Is the Electron? (Paperback)
by Volodimir Simulik
