Illustrated Carpet People, The
by Terry Pratchett (9780385615723)

Almost everyone knows Einstein's world-changing theorem e=mc2 and almost everyone has at least heard of his theory of relativity. But what does it all mean? And why were Einstein's theories so revolutionary? Paul Strathern's book is for everyone who ever considered these questions and, by looking at the history of Einstein's life and works and placing them in the context of the history of science up to that point, he presents a concise, lucid and gripping presentation of Einstein's 'big idea' and its importance to every scientist who has followed him.
