Publisher's Synopsis
2 audio tapes, approximate running time: 136 minutes. Albert Einstein described his book, Relativity, as a popular exposition of his famous theory. He wrote: "The author has spared himself no pains in his endeavour to present the main ideas in the simplest and most intelligible form." Written in 1916, Relativity introduced the lay audience to the remarkable perspective which a few years earlier had overturned theoretical physics. Concepts of Time and Space could now relate intrinsically in a relativistic viewpoint that stretches the imagination. Einstein prefaced Relativity with this simple desideratum: "may the book bring someone a few happy hours of suggestive thought!".
