“In this book Albert Einstein elucidates his Theory of Relativity and explains its most recent developments. He treats the subject under three headings: Space and Time in Pre-Relativity Physics; The Theory of Special Relativity, and The General Theory of Relativity. And while he provides here ample mathematical apparatus for the scientist, he writes so the layman too can understand” (From the dust jacket).
