The one equation most people know is E=MC2, but most of us could not explain what it means. This book elucidates the special and general theories of relativity, as well as electromagnetism, space-time and other theories. It enables readers to appreciate the great physicist's achievements by laying out the context in which he developed his theories and the way that they were received. Very Good/Very Good.
