"It has long been a popular misconception that only a handful of people in the world can understand Einstein's theory of Relativity. Here is a book, however, by the originator of the theory himself explaining the theory in simple words that anyone with the equivalent of a high school education can understand. This is, of course, the source book of the Atomic Age and as such is one of the most important books ever written. It is complete and unabridged and contains "The Special Theory of Relativity," "The General Theory of Relativity," "Considerations on the Universe as Whole," with appendices, bibliography and index. If your library were to contain only the ten books which most influenced the course of human destiny, it would contain a copy of this book." - from the inner front jacket flap. "The book is intended to give an exact insight into the theory to those who are not conversant with the mathematical apparatus of theoretical physics. In the opinion of this reviewer, in this attempt he has been eminently successful." - The New York Times. "Written in an unpretentious, straightforward style. The trend of his exposition can be followed in the main by any attentive reader." - New York Post.
