Relativity: The Special and the General Theory began as a short
paper and was eventually published as a book written by Albert
Einstein with the aim of giving:
. . . an exact insight into the theory of relativity to those
readers who, from a general scientific and philosophical point of
view, are interested in the theory, but who are not conversant with
the mathematical apparatus of theoretical physics.
- from the Preface
It was first published in German in 1916 and later translated into
English in 1920. It is divided into 3 parts, the first dealing with
special relativity, the second dealing with general relativity and
the third dealing with considerations on the universe as a whole.
There have been many versions published since the original in 1916,
the latest in December, 2011. The work has been labeled by whom?]
unique in that it gives readers an insight into the thought
processes of one of the greatest minds of the 20th century.
