    book in which one great mind explains the work of another great mind in terms comprehensible to

    the layman is a significant achievement. This is such a book. Max Born is a Nobel Laureate (1955) and
    one of the world's great physicists: in this book he analyzes and interprets the theory of Einsteinian
    relativity. The result is undoubtedly the most lucid and insightful of all the books that have been
    written to explain the revolutionary theory that marked the end of the classical and the beginning of
    the modern era of physics.

    The author follows a quasi-historical method of presentation. The book begins with a review of the
    classical physics, covering such topics as origins of space and time measurements, geometric axioms,
    Ptolemaic and Copernican astronomy, concepts of equilibrium...
