Book description
Originally published in 1916. PREFACE: The present book is intended, as
far as possible, 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 work presumes a
standard of education corresponding to that of a university
matriculation examination, and, despite the shortness of the book, a
fair amount of patience and force of will on the part of the
reader....Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to
the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high
quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
