Good Entry Point July 13, 2010

This book is a nice, quick entry point for people looking to learn about Einstein's famous theory.
That being said, this should not be the only source of info you use to learn about the subject. As previously mentioned, this article is about 90 years old so there is newer material to be read. That being said I never see anything wrong with starting from the beginning and working your way forward.

I ordered "The Einstein Theory of Relativity" in hopes of brushing up on my understanding of relativity. The book arrived quickly and I eagarly began to read. A few pages into the book, and this is what I see: "FUN CAMPFIRE GHOST STORIES" by John Bradshaw. I don't know what happened, but I ended up with ghost stories for 4-year-olds inside of the Einstein cover - I'd think twice before purchasing.

This very short book is sort of an abstract on Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Whether you're familiar, and especially if you are, about Physics and Nature's Laws of Motion, Gravity, etc...this is a worthwhile read for getting to know Einstein's theory as written by a friend physicist. It describes Einstein's theory and quashes your curiosity on the subject matter.
Short and concise, I picked up a few concepts that I was not truly aware of since grade school or high school...when I was actually enrolled in a science class. For instance, I always thought space is enveloped in a vacuum...meaning no air or nothing at all. It was not after reading this book that I was made re-aware of the gas ether as "light's medium"...or what the upper atmosphere consists of, hence the word ethereal (`not of this world).
Read further and you actually grasp the essence of the theory, said in the simplest possible way from a physicist's point of view. Right now though, I'd like to read more on the subject matter at hand...or perhaps more on Einstein himself. This is just good entry-point reading.
