A handsome annotated edition of Einstein-s celebrated book on relativity
After completing the final version of his general theory of relativity in November 1915, Albert Einstein wrote Relativity. Intended for a popular audience, the book remains one of the most lucid explanations of the special and general theories ever written. This edition of Einstein-s celebrated book features an authoritative English translation of the text along with commentaries by Hanoch Gutfreund and J-rgen Renn that examine the evolution of Einstein-s thinking and cast his ideas in a modern context. Providing invaluable insight into one of the greatest scientific minds of all time, the book also includes a unique survey of the introductions from past editions, covers from selected early editions, a letter from Walther Rathenau to Einstein discussing the book, and a revealing sample from Einstein-s original handwritten manuscript.
