Time magazine's "Man of the Century", Albert Einstein is the founder of
modern physics and his theory of relativity is the most important
scientific idea of the modern era. In this short book, Einstein
explains, using the minimum of mathematical terms, the basic ideas and
principles of the theory that has shaped the world we live in today.
Unsurpassed by any subsequent books on relativity, this remains the most
popular and useful exposition of Einstein's immense contribution to
human knowledge.
With a new foreword by Derek Raine.
