The Newtonian model of Physics posits absolute time, and relies upon the classical mechanics of Euclidean Geometry. In the early 20th century, scientists began to interrogate this model, intrigued by the possibility of a dimension in which space and time overlap. Intended for readers curious about Relativity but not trained to understand the mathematics behind it, this text is Einstein’s philosophical explanation of the idea that changed the way we understand the physics of space and time.

Review:
How better to learn the Special Theory of Relativity and the General Theory of Relativity than directly from their creator, Albert Einstein himself? In Relativity: The Special and the General Theory, Einstein describes the theories that made him famous, illuminating his case with numerous examples and a smattering of math (nothing more complex than high-school algebra). Einstein's book is not casual reading, but for those who appreciate his work without diving into the arcana of theoretical physics, Relativity will prove a stimulating read.
From the Back Cover:
"The additions to the original text give considerable insight and are a valuable addition, particularly for anyone approaching the subject for the first time."

"It’s as though you are sitting in his classroom, watching [Einstein] alternate between gesticulating and chalking equations onto the blackboard."
The Washington Post Book World
