Sixth edition of Einstein’s clear and systematic exposition of the theory of relativity, with the ownership stamp on the front and rear pastedowns, “Stephen Hawking Newton Institute University of Cambridge Cambridge, England.” Octavo, original cloth. Translated By Edwin Plimpton Adams and Ernest G. Straus. Fine in a very good dust jacket. An exceptional association.
In the book, Einstein outlines both the special and general theories of relativity, explaining their mathematical foundations and physical implications, particularly regarding the nature of space, time, and gravitation. Designed for readers with a background in physics and mathematics, the text serves as both a summary of Einstein’s groundbreaking contributions and an accessible guide to the conceptual shifts his theories introduced to modern science. The work remains a significant historical and intellectual document, illustrating Einstein’s effort to communicate complex scientific ideas with clarity and precision.
