The text is divided into three parts which deal respectively with the special theory of relativity with the general theory of relativity and with considerations on the universe as a whole. The special theory deals with the physics of elementary particles while the general theory is concerned with the force of gravity and its effect on the other forces of nature. These two theories while exceptional in their explanations of their particular focus are inconsistent with each other and it has long been an aim of the science of physics to help resolve these inconsistencies. Einstein proposed that rather than discarding these two principles for their contradictions the rules of time and space should be completely rethought in order to harmonize our understanding of the physical world. Einstein’s work in the field of theoretical physics would earn him the Nobel Prize in 1921 and establish his legacy as one of the most famous scientists of all time. This edition is translated by Robert W. Lawson and is printed on premium acid-free paper.</p> Digireads.com Publishing hardcover

When he wrote the book in 1916 Einstein's name was scarcely known outside the physics institutes. Having just completed his masterpiece The General Theory of Relativity—which provided a brand-new theory of gravity and promised a new perspective on the cosmos as a whole—he set out at once to share his excitement with as wide a public as possible in this popular and accessible book.Here published for the first time as a Penguin Classic this edition of Relativity features a new introduction by bestselling science author Nigel Calder.For more than seventy years Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1700 titles Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.</p> Penguin Classics hardcover

There have been many versions published since the original in 1916 the latest in December 2011. The work has been labeledby whom unique in that it gives readers an insight into the thought processes of one of the greatest minds of the 20th century.Albert Einstein 14 March 1879 - 18 April 1955 was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of relativity one of the two pillars of modern physics alongside quantum mechanics. His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. He is best known to the general public for his mass-energy equivalence formula which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation". He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect" a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory.Near the beginning of his career Einstein thought that Newtonian mechanics was no longer enough to reconcile the laws of classical mechanics with the laws of the electromagnetic field. This led him to develop his special theory of relativity during his time at the Swiss Patent Office in Bern 1902-1909. He subsequently realized that the principle of relativity could be extended to gravitational fields and published a paper on general relativity in 1916 introducing his theory of gravitation. He continued to deal with problems of statistical mechanics and quantum theory which led to his explanations of particle theory and the motion of molecules. He also investigated the thermal properties of light and the quantum theory of radiation the basis of laser which laid the foundation of the photon theory of light. In 1917 he applied the general theory of relativity to model the structure of the universe.Einstein moved to Switzerland in 1895 and renounced his German citizenship in 1896. After being stateless for more than five years he acquired Swiss citizenship in 1901 which he kept for the rest of his life. Except for one year in Prague he lived in Switzerland between 1895 and 1914.</p> Binker North hardcover
