Special Relativity is not the adequate method to describe the whole Cosmos. The reason is as follows: The global structure of the Universe is mainly originated from gravity, and so one really needs General Relativity. Special Relativity, however, is the limit of a negligible gravitation of General Relativity. In this sense, the title of the book is misleading. This misnomer goes through the book: The cosmological transformation introduced in Section 2.11 is nothing but the usual Lorentz transformation of the flat space-time. The book represents a fairly good introduction to special relativity, it discusses all main effects and gives the main formulas for the light cone, the Minkowski space-time and the limit to classical physics. An unorthodox view is given for the 7-dimensional space defined by time, 3 spatial coordinates, and 3 components of velocity.
