Albert EinsteinsRelativity: The Special and the General Theory (1920) is a cornerstone of modern physics. Einstein intended this book for “those readers who, from a general scientific and philosophical point of view, are interested in the theory, but who are not conversant with the mathematical apparatus.” Indeed, within the vast literature on the philosophy of space and time, Einsteins Relativity shall remain an illuminable and intelligible exposition, highly quotable as one of the most lucid presentations of the subject matter, and a launching pad for any further inquiry on the fascinating features of our universe.

About the Author

Albert Einstein (1879–1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist who introduced revolutionary concepts regarding the nature of light-particles, the existence and nature of molecules, and the electrodynamics of moving bodies. In 1934 he left Germany, settling in Princeton, New Jersey and eventually becoming an American citizen. He won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1921.
