100 Years, Relatively Speaking

This November marks the 100th anniversary of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. The articles and books that have been written about him and his concept since then could probably fill a stadium, and maybe even a couple. Four of the more recent ~ The Hunt for Vulcan, The Road to Relativity, An Einstein Encyclopedia, and Relativity: The Special and General Theory, 100th Anniversary Edition ~ may, together, "provide glimpses into Einstein’s mind and his methods," according to Science News managing editor Tom Siegfried, who compiled this list. Even beyond that, he promises, they "should not fail to generate a sense of awe and appreciation for one of the greatest intellectual accomplishments in the history of human thought": https://www.sciencenews.org/article/centennial-books-illuminate-einstein%E2%80%99s-greatest-triumph
