Introducing Relativity

<p><b>A superlative fascinating graphic account of Albert Einstein's strange world and how his legacy has been built upon since.</b> <p/>It is now more than a century since Einstein's theories of Special and General Relativity began to revolutionise our view of the universe. Beginning near the speed of light and proceeding to explorations of space-time and curved spaces <i>Introducing Relativity</i> plots a visually accessible course through the thought experiments that have given shape to contemporary physics. <p/> <p/>Scientists from Isaac Newton to Stephen 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. </p>
