<P>Albert Einstein, one of the most prolific scientists of the twentieth century, developed the theory of relativity which was crucial for the advancement of modern physics. Young Einstein identified a paradox between Newtonian Mechanics and Maxwell's equations which pointed to a flawed understanding of space and time by the scientists of the day. In <I>Relativity</I>, Einstein presents his findings using a minimal amount of mathematical language, but the text can still be challenging for readers who lack an extensive scientific background.</P><I>
<P>The Routledge Guidebook to Einstein's Relativity</I> expands on and supplements this seminal text, by exploring:</P>
<UL>
<P>
<LI>the historical context of Einstein's work and the background to his breakthroughs</LI>
<LI>details of experimental verification of special and general relativity</LI>
<LI>the enduring legacy of Einstein's theories and their implications for future scientific breakthroughs.</LI>
<P></P></UL>
<P>This is an essential introduction for students of physics, philosophy and history in understanding the key elements of the work and the importance of this classic text to society today.</P>
