Book Reviews of Einstein's Universe

Book Review: Couldn't put the book down! Fascinating!
Summary: 4 Stars

I read the 1979 version of this book, not the newest version. I've always thought that no one could explain relatively better than Issac Asimov, but finally someone has. With almost no math, Calder explains how gravity and speed affect time, space, and other characteristics of our universe. Superb!
