Back Cover A long with quantum mechanics in the 1920s, Einsteins Special Theory of Relativity of 1905 and his General Theory of Relativity of 1916 stand as the supreme achievements of twentieth-century physics. Relativity is an elaborate but comprehensible explanation of these theories, both of which boosted Albert Einstein to international acclaim. In simplest terms, the theory of relativity is an approach to the measurement and study of space and time. The theory assumes that findings are based upon the relation of the frame of reference to the objects measured. The Special Theory of Relativity is primarily concerned with electric and magnetic phenomena. The General Theory focuses on gravity, not as a force as Newton postulated, but as a curved field in the space-time continuum, created by the presence of mass. Redesigned inside and out to provide a fresh, modern look, Relativity includes both explanatory illustrations and mathematical derivations of Einsteins theories. Apparent throughout is Einsteins remarkable ability to penetrate directly to the heart of the subject in a way virtually everyone can understand. Author Biography Albert Einstein (1879–1955), one of the greatest thinkers of the twentieth century, was born in Ulm, Germany, to German-Jewish parents. He published his first great theories in Switzerland in the early 1900s while working as a patent clerk.
