Beginning near the speed of light and proceeding to explorations of space-time and curved spaces, \u003ci\u003eIntroducing Relativity\u003c\/i\u003e plots a visually accessible course through the thought experiments that have given shape to contemporary physics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eScientists from Isaac Newton to Stephen Hawking add their unique contributions to this story, as we encounter Einstein's astounding vision of gravity as the curvature of space-time and arrive at the breathtakingly beautiful field equations. Einstein's legacy is reviewed in the most advanced frontiers of physics today - black holes, gravitational waves, the accelerating universe and string theory. \u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBruce Bassett\u003c\/b\u003e is a cosmologist and lecturer at the University of Cape Town and the South African Astronomical Observatory. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eRalph Edney\u003c\/b\u003e trained as a mathematician, and has worked as a teacher, journalist, illustrator and political cartoonist.
