A great book about a great man by Gareth Birchley
A very useful topic to be knowledgeable about, especially when visiting friends for a dinner party. Most of you are probably like me, don't have a clue what its all about but it just sounds pretty cool. I can honestly say after reading this book i fully understand Einsteins theory of relativity. It explains simply the theory, with good examples, and goes into how Albert came across relativity, step by step along with how he was brought up and talks greatly about his childhood. With humerous, classic 'throw-away' comments this book makes learning something complecated really fun. As all the books in this series do, this contains brilliant, illistrative drawings. An absolute must, especially for A-Level physics students who have difficulty with tricky concepts.
