Each chapter begins with a short introduction followed by a reading selection. Carefully crafted study questions draw out key points in the text and focus the reader?s attention on the author?s methods, analysis and conclusions. Numerical and laboratory exercises at the end of each chapter test the reader?s ability to understand and apply key concepts from the text.  Space, Time and Motion is the second of four volumes in A Student?s Guide through the Great Physics Texts. This book grew out of a four-semester undergraduate physics curriculum designed to encourage a critical and circumspect approach to natural science, while at the same time preparing students for advanced coursework in physics.   This book is particularly suitable as a college-level textbook for students of the natural sciences, history or philosophy. It also serves as a textbook for advanced high-school students, or as a thematically-organized source-book for scholars and motivated lay-readers. In studying the classic scientific texts included herein, the reader will be drawn toward a lifetime of contemplation. 410 0$aUndergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics,$x2192-4791 606 $aPhysics 606 $aPhilosophy and science 606 $aScience$xStudy and teaching 606 $aCosmology 606 $aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000 606 $aPhilosophy of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34000 606 $aScience Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O27000 606 $aCosmology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22049 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aPhilosophy and science. 615 0$aScience$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aCosmology. 615 14$aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Science. 615 24$aScience Education. 615 24$aCosmology. 676 $a523.01 700 $aKuehn$b Kerry$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0792791 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300426303321 996 $aStudent's Guide Through the Great Physics Texts$91773015 997 $aUNINA
