This is a classic book/paper by Lorentz (himself one of the greatest physicists of all time) about Einstein's then-recent theory of relativity. It's particularly interesting to me to see how people thought about this theory when it was "new" (the book was originally published in 1919; due to language issues and the war, general relativity wasn't really finished until 1915-1916, and outside Germany was still filtering out to the public even in 1919).

The narrator actually did a great job of reading this book, too, which I hadn't really expected would be the case with a classic physics text. ( )

This tiny book is an attempt at explaining Einstein's theory of relativity, but if you're considering picking it up in the hopes of understanding the subject matter, there are many many better resources. I'm not sure if it's due to the dry academic style, the inherently difficult nature of the subject, or the intervening time imposing a communication barrier, but this book is almost entirely impenetrable. Good thing it's only 38 pages.

The book itself is rather amateurishly published and edited as well - or should I say, published and not edited at all, as there are weird page breaks and word-breaks clearly left in from the source material, which is very distracting. ( )

This book is more about Einstein than about the Theory. ( )
