Readings From Bertrand Russell's 'ABC Of Relativity' and Einstein's 'Ideas And Opinions'
2 Cassettes; abridged
Read by Derek Jacobi
Ask a dozen people to name a genius, and the odds are that Einstein will spring to their lips. Ask them the meaning of relativity, ad few of them will be able to tell you what it is. But the basic principles of relativity have not changed since Bertrand Russell first published his lucid guide for the general reader.
This audio edition steers the reader who has no knowledge of maths or physics through the subtleties of Einstein's thinking. In easy, assimilable steps, it explains the theories of special and general relativity and describes their practical application to, amongst much else, discoveries about gravitation and the invention of the hydrogen bomb.
