How better to learn the Special Theory of Relativity and the General Theory of Relativity than directly from their creator.---Albert Einstein himselfIn Relativity: The Special and the General Theory, Einstein describes the theories that made him famous, illuminating his case with numerous examples and a smattering of math (nothing more complex than high-school algebra). Einstein's book is not casual reading, but for those who appreciate his work without diving into the arcana of theoretical physics, Relativity will prove a stimulating read. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

学习狭义相对论和广义相对论比直接从他们的创造者学得更好。——爱因斯坦(Albert Einstein) 在“相对论:特殊论”和“通论”中,爱因斯坦描述了使他成名的理论,用无数的例子和一些数学(比高中代数更复杂)来阐述他的理论。 爱因斯坦的书不是随意的阅读,但对于那些欣赏他的作品而不深入理论物理学的人来说,相对论将是一个刺激的阅读。“他深不可测的 - 天才之间的天才,只是通过思考才发现,宇宙并不像现在这样。 —— Times“这本书很有趣。” ——斯蒂芬·巴特斯比,新科学家“爱因斯坦”比斯蒂芬·霍金是一个更好的科学普及者,你会感觉好像你在人类理解的革命中拥有了座位。 ——卫报精彩书摘
Albert Einstein's Relativity: The Special and the General Theory (1920) is a cornerstone in the edifice of modern physics. With it the great scientist and humanist took his place beside other great teachers of science. Among the greatest achievements of human thinking, the theories of relativity are commonly regarded as the exclusive domain of highly trained physicists and mathematicians. Disapproving of this segregation as he was, Einstein took it upon himself to explain in this book both theories in their simplest and most down-to-earth form, intending it for "those readers who, from a general scientific and philosophical point of view, are interested in the theory, but who are not conversant with the mathematical apparatus." Indeed, within the vast literature on the philosophy of space and time, Einstein's Relativity shall remain an illuminable and intelligible exposition, highly quotable as one of the most lucid presentations of the subject matter, and a launching pad for any further inquiry on the fascinating features of our universe.Albert Einstein (1879-1955) is one of the icons of our times, requiring almost no introduction. A Nobel laureate, the author of the special and the general theories of relativity, and a key figure in the birth of quantum mechanics, he is widely acclaimed as one of the most creative intellects of human history. The German-Jewish-born "technical-expert-third-class" in the Swiss patent office in Bern originally intended to become a secondary-school teacher - a profession for which he had a natural talent, as readers of Relativity would surely appreciate - but in 1909, having completed an astonishing range of theoreticalphysics publications, written in his spare time without the benefit of close contact with scientific literature or colleagues, he was recognized as a leading scientific thinker and two years later was appointed a full professor at the Karl-Ferdinand University in Prague. A year later he returned to Zurich to begin his work on the general theory of relativity and in 1914 accepted a distinguished research position in the Prussian Academy of Sciences together with a chair (but no teaching duties) at the University of Berlin. He was also offered the directorship of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Physics in Berlin, which was about to be established. After a number of false starts, Einstein published, late in 1915, the definitive version of the general theory of relativity, and in so doing forever changed our views of the cosmos.Einstein was first idolized by the popular press when British eclipse expeditions in 1919 confirmed his predictions on the bending of light rays near the sun. The London Times ran the headline on 7 November 1919: Revolution in science - New theory of the Universe - Newtonian ideas overthrown, and three weeks later printed Einstein's popular exposition on relativity. The exposition became a classic, and Einstein became an overnight sensation, the world's first and greatest scientific superstar. Two years later he received the Nobel Prize for his 1905 work on the photoelectric effect. By then Einstein was internationally known, and when he was offered a post in Princeton in 1932 he moved to the United States, never to return to Germany. His late career was marked by unsuccessful attempts to unify the laws of physics, and by a strong distaste for the fashionable so-called "Copenhagen interpretation" of quantum mechanics. A week before his death, Einstein signed his last letter, written to Bertrand Russell, in which he agreed that his name should go on a manifesto urging all nations to give up nuclear weapons. It is only appropriate that one of his last acts was to argue, as he had done all his life, for international peace. With Einstein's death in 1955 the world had not only lost one of its foremost thinkers but also a humanist fighter for peace and freedom.1905 was a remarkable year for Einstein. Among his articles published that year, the paper "On the Electrodynamics o
