This book tracks the history of the theory of relativity through
Einstein's life, with in-depth studies of its background as built
upon by ideas from earlier scientists. The focus points of
Einstein's theory of relativity include its development throughout
his life; the origins of his ideas and his indebtedness to the
earlier works of Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Mach and others; the
application of the theory to the birth of modern cosmology; and his
quest for a unified field theory. Treading a fine line between the
popular and technical (but not shying away from the occasional
equation), this book explains the entire range of relativity and
weaves an up-to-date biography of Einstein throughout. The result
is an explanation of the world of relativity, based on an extensive
journey into earlier physics and a simultaneous voyage into the
mind of Einstein, written for the curious and intelligent reader.
