A handsome annotated edition of Einstein’s celebrated book on relativity
After completing the final version of his general theory of relativity in November 1915, Albert Einstein wrote Relativity. Intended for a popular audience, the book remains one of the most lucid explanations of the special and general theories ever written. This edition of Einstein’s celebrated book features an authoritative English translation of the text along with commentaries by Hanoch Gutfreund and Jürgen Renn that examine the evolution of Einstein’s thinking and cast his ideas in a modern context. Providing invaluable insight into one of the greatest scientific minds of all time, the book also includes a unique survey of the introductions from past editions, covers from selected early editions, a letter from Walther Rathenau to Einstein discussing the book, and a revealing sample from Einstein’s original handwritten manuscript.

9.5。Einstein描述的狭相的简洁和本质程度胜于我见过的所有数学描述。广相着眼于Descartes的空间不先验存在的哲学,关于inertia和gravitation等价及例子选用自是无比精准。不过关于物质、场和引力的关系,限于书的程度,看完commentaries也没找到满意的描述。这本完全可以作为relativity的第一本读物

小學的時候,往往會因為計算一道和應用題而花費大量時間。等到上了中學,再回過頭去看小學的那些題目,總覺得簡單到令人髮指。剛剛讀完了愛因斯坦介紹相對論的小冊子,有了一種類似的感覺。高中課本上相對論屬於加星內容(高考不考,可自行閱讀),讀起來雲裡霧裡,難以理解,最終勉強接受結論。現在再讀相對論,發現其實也不是很難理解(至少原理部分如此)。這究竟是因為隨著年齡和經驗的增長,更容易理解一些看上去很難的東西,... 小學的時候,往往會因為計算一道和應用題而花費大量時間。等到上了中學,再回過頭去看小學的那些題目,總覺得簡單到令人髮指。剛剛讀完了愛因斯坦介紹相對論的小冊子,有了一種類似的感覺。高中課本上相對論屬於加星內容(高考不考,可自行閱讀),讀起來雲裡霧裡,難以理解,最終勉強接受結論。現在再讀相對論,發現其實也不是很難理解(至少原理部分如此)。這究竟是因為隨著年齡和經驗的增長,更容易理解一些看上去很難的東西,還是因為當今信息傳遞技術發達,早在讀這本小冊子之前,就已經聽過無數人講解、科普,以至於當年那些困擾思維的點早就被擊破了?
