His grandson, Bernard Einstein, wrote the Foreword that adds a personal touch to the story.

Chapters 8 through 13 present the derivations of Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity and equations using high school algebra. His most famous equation, E = mc2, is derived in four simple steps using high school algebra.
