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 Jürgen 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.
