Amazon 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.

Product Description
The Nobel Prize-winning scientist?s presentation of his landmark theory
According to Einstein himself, this book is intended "to give an exact insight into the theory of Relativity to those readers who, from a general scientific and philosophical point of view, are interested in the theory, but who are not conversant with the mathematical apparatus of theoretical physics." When he wrote the book in 1916, Einstein?s name was scarcely known outside the physics institutes. Having just completed his masterpiece, The General Theory of Relativity?which provided a brand-new theory of gravity and promised a new perspective on the cosmos as a whole?he set out at once to share his excitement with as wide a public as possible in this popular and accessible book.
