Einstein’s Universe

Albert Einstein stands alone as the most brilliant and influential scientist of our century; he utterly transformed the way in which we view the world. In Einstein’s Universe, Nigel Calder describes and explains the landmarks of Einstein’s work – Special Relativity (1905), which deals with high-speed motion, and General Relativity (1945), which deals with gravity – and how, astonishingly, scientific discoveries over the years have buttressed and expanded them, It is the double achievement of Einstein’s Universe that pays tribute to the elegance, originality, and force of Einstein’s work and demonstrates with such eloquence the debt that science and humankind will owe him for eternity
