Beginning near the speed of light and proceeding to explorations of space-time and curved spaces ""Introducing Relativity"" plots a visually accessible course through the thought experiments that have given shape to contemporary physics. Scientists from Newton to Hawking add their unique contributions to this story as we encounter Einstein's astounding vision of gravity as the curvature of space-time and arrive at the breathtakingly beautiful field equations. Einstein's legacy is reviewed in the most advanced frontiers of physics today - black holes gravitational waves the accelerating universe and string theory.
