Introducing Relativity is a 2002 graphic study guide to the theory of relativity and Albert Einstein written by Bruce Bassett and illustrated by Ralph Edney. The volume is, according to the publisher's website, "a superlative, fascinating graphic account of Einstein’s strange world," which, "plots a visually accessible course through the thought experiments that have given shape to contemporary physics."[1]
"The authors cover everything from time dilation to black holes, string theory to dark energy," confirms Sky at Night Magazine reviewer Professor Nigel Henbest, and, "the going sometimes gets tough."[2] However, "help is at hand," according to New Scientist reviewer Marcus Chown, "to get our heads around stretchy time, shrinking space, black holes, wormholes and the rest."[3]
