Robinson brilliantly uses examples from the arts, history, and folklore to elucidate Einstein's monumental theory. The author's triumphs of analysis include clarifying the abstract concepts of time and space, linking relativity concepts to mapmaking and exploration, and relating the metaphors of Shakespeare, Milton and Dante to relativity theory. 161 line drawings. 60 half-tones.
