Lightspeed: The Ghostly Aether and the Race to Measure the Speed of Light
Spence, John C. H. (Regent's Professor of Physics, Regent's Professor of Physics, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ, US)
This book tells the story of one of man's greatest intellectual adventures - how it came to be understood that light travels at a finite speed, so that when we look up at the stars we are looking back in time. From the ancient Greeks measuring the distance to the sun, to today's satellite navigation, the book offers a gripping historical journey.
