Albert Einstein, Relativity: The Special and the General Theory - A book by the man himself in which puts his own work into its historical perspective. He discusses the work of giants on whose shoulders he stood to obtain his own perspective of the universe. Much of the historical work will be known to physics students, but here the timeline is laid out and his work placed in its experimental and theoretical background.
The book is not an easy read. I have read it once, and I expect to read it twice more before I have extracted and comprehended all he has to say.
The appendices are nicely illuminating and throw that bit of mathematical light on the subject which makes this book rise above a banal description.
A book well worth the effort of reading.
