Elegantly written, these two influential essays offer unparalleled insight into the seminal thinking of Albert Einstein, the twentieth century’s greatest physicist. The essays outline aspects of two of Einstein’s revolutionary theories—his Special Theory of Relativity and his General Theory of Relativity—in simple prose devoid of abstruse language, ideal for scientists and laypeople alike.
