Albert Einstein's books for general readers explain relativity, physics and his wider reflections on science, politics and public life. Relativity: The Special and the General Theory was written as an accessible account of the conceptual changes behind special and general relativity, using thought experiments rather than advanced mathematics wherever possible. The Evolution of Physics, written with Leopold Infeld, traces changing ideas about motion, fields, relativity and quantum theory, while Ideas and Opinions gathers essays and letters on science, education, pacifism, Zionism and civil liberties. These works show Einstein as both physicist and public intellectual. They fit popular physics, relativity, history of science and twentieth-century intellectual essays. Read more Less
