The Meaning of Relativity

by Albert Einstein

Overview

A must read for all students of physics.

While many have written on relativity, this book remains one of the most lucid explanations of the special and general theories ever written. Einstein has a particular authority. He presents the facts but also exposes the thought processes that led him to them, the physical interpretation of his theory.
