A superlative, fascinating graphic account of Albert Einstein's
strange world and how his legacy has been built upon since. 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, Introducing Relativity plots a
visually accessible course through the thought experiments that
have given shape to contemporary physics. 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.
