An
Equation That Changed the World: Newton, Einstein, and the Theory of Relativity
by Harald Fritzsch, Karin Heusch
Book Description: Fritzsch offers readers the opportunity to listen
in on a meeting of Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, and a present-day physicist.
While he introduces the theory of relativity, Fritzsch teaches its sources,
its workings, and the ways it has revolutionized our view of the physical
world. An Equation That Changed the World dramatizes the importance of
relativity, for the human race, and the survival of our planet.

Simply
Einstein: Relativity Demystified
by Richard Wolfson
Book Description: With this reader-friendly book, it doesn't take an
Einstein to understand the theory of relativity and its remarkable consequences.
In clear, understandable terms, physicist Richard Wolfson explores
the ideas at the heart of relativity and shows how they lead to such seeming
absurdities as time travel, curved space, black holes, and new meaning
for the idea of past and future. Drawing from years of teaching modern
physics to nonscientists, Wolfson explains in a lively, conversational
style the simple principles underlying Einstein's theory.
Relativity, Wolfson shows, gave us a new view of space and time, opening
the door to questions about their flexible nature: Is the universe finite
or infinite? Will it expand forever or eventually collapse in a "big crunch"?
Is time travel possible? What goes on inside a black hole? How does gravity
really work? These questions at the forefront of twenty-first-century physics
are all rooted in the profound and sweeping vision of Albert Einstein's
early twentieth-century theory. Wolfson leads his readers on an intellectual
journey that culminates in a universe made almost unimaginably rich by
the principles that Einstein first discovered. 48 b/w illustrations.
