Relativity: The Special And The General Theory

All scientists should read this, written by Einstein himself.

Einstein was a man clearly way ahead of his time. Relativity provides Einstein's insightful theories about time and inertia. I was magnetized so deeply and profoundly while reading this amazing work. I couldn't put this book down. It's a must read for everyone.

Great book to help you understand how his theories of the past applies to modern day science. This a great read! There are short explanations and examples of the theory to help you to fully understand how this concept applies to modern science.

Very good explanation form the man himself.

The formatting in this printing of the book is horribly inconsistent to the point of confusing. Almost every page has MULTIPLE, very obvious typos. On page 19, it refers to a "Section V" and there IS no section 5! All of the "illustrations" are random classical paintings that have nothing to do with the text. Conversely, the few ACTUAL images in the text are missing! On page 24, it mentions a "Fig 1." On the 2nd line of page 25, it says "Fig. 01: file fig01.gif" with no image. Meanwhile, midway down the page is a random painting of a girl and a woman. By now, this text is in the public domain so anyone can publish it, but advertising this as Einstein's text and having THIS many mistakes and omissions...and advertise it as "Illustrated" by adding in random public-domain paintings in random spots in the text...makes the entire thing misleading and essentially a scam. You can find this thing online in PDF form with WAY better formatting than this book! I suggest you check that out or buy a version from a publisher who has the tiniest bit of pride in the work they put out.

I love books and learning. Especially when it's about something I'm fascinated in and have a passion for like quantum physics and theoretical physics. I like reading multiple books about it and gaining a deeper understanding of things with each book. This book does just that. Helps you gain more of an understanding of Einsteins works.

Excellent primer on relativity. Einstein lays out everything logically and consistently, unlike most other descriptions of relativity. The math is only algebra. The Wikipedia page for this is next to useless unless you already know the subject.

Delivered in a timely manner and product was exactly as advertised.
