“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.”
