Collected here are Einstein's own illuminating writings on the theory of relativity, which present a world of paradoxes in which space is bent and time is curved. Yet Einstein was known not only for his ideas in physics and here too are his reflections on politics, religion and the ultimate meaning of his scientific findings.

Time's 'Man of the Century', Albert Einstein is the unquestioned founder of modern physics. His theory of relativity is the most important scientific idea of the modern era. In this short book Einstein explains, using the minimum of mathematical terms, the basic ideas and principles of the theory which has shaped the world we live in today. Unsurpassed by any subsequent books on relativity, this remains the most popular and useful exposition of Einstein's immense contribution to human knowledge.

The world would be a very different place if it were not for Albert Einstein. Like Newton and Galileo before him, this remarkable scientist changed forever mankind's understanding of the universe. In 1921, five years after proclaiming his general theory of relativity, Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in recognition of his remarkable achievements. In the same year he travelled to the United States to give four lectures that consolidated his theory and sought to explain its meaning to a new audience. These lectures were published the following year as The Meaning of Relativity,...

After completing the final version of his general theory of relativity in November 1915, Albert Einstein wrote a book about relativity for a popular audience. His intention was "to give 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." The book remains one of the most lucid explanations of the special and general theories ever written. In the early 1920s alone, it was translated into ten languages,...

Na podzim roku 1922 se Albert Einstein, v té době již vědecká celebrita par excellence, spolu se svou tehdejší manželkou Elsou vydal na skoro šestiměsíční cestu na Blízký, Střední a Dálný východ. Zastavil se v Honkongu a Singapuru, krátce pobyl v Číně, šest týdnů přednášel v Japonsků a necelé dva týdny strávil v Palestině. Nakonec pobyl i tři týdny ve Španělsku. Edice jeho brilantních cestovních postřehů, jakkoli někdy stručných telelegrafických a někdy i irelevantních, dokládají Einsteniův zájem nejen o vědu, ale i o filozofii, umění...
