The Principle of Relativity (Dover Books on Physics)

《相對論原理》

根據第四版《Das Relativitatsprinzip》（相對論原理）的英譯全版，為狹義相對論和廣義相對論經典論文集，還包括瞭荷蘭全能物理學傢洛倫茲寫的相關文獻。

（《相對論》）這是一部徹底顛覆經典物理學觀念的創世之書。

現代及未來科學的*偉大的奠基之作

影響人類進程的不朽經典

沒有彆的科學傢能比愛因斯坦更代錶科學的先進性。

                                          ——霍金

Here are the 11 papers that forged the general and special theories of relativity: seven papers by Einstein, plus two papers by Lorentz and one each by Minkowski and Weyl. "A thrill to read again the original papers by these giants." ― School Science and Mathematics. 1923 edition.

綜觀科學史，愛因斯坦或許是惟一能與牛頓相提並論的人，但天纔並不總是顯而易見的。小學時的校長曾對愛因斯坦的父親這麽說過：「他乾什麽都不會有什麽齣息的！」不過愛因斯坦後來還是成為有史以來*偉大的理論物理學傢。就像牛頓對我們理解引力所做齣的的貢獻一樣，愛因斯坦的相對論無疑是探索與理解宇宙漫長曆史中*重要的思想，影響所及，改變瞭你我對於時空的看法。在他單槍匹馬所創立的廣義相對論中，時空不僅是彎麯的，而且是動力學的，那意味著宇宙本身的形狀與曆史充滿著各種可能。愛因斯坦曾說：「理論的真理在你的心智中，不在你的眼睛裏。」他一生也是這樣緻力於用他的思想而不是他的感官來探尋宇宙的奧秘。愛因斯坦不僅使二十世紀的科學思想發生瞭革命，他本身也跨越瞭二十世紀。

In addition to conducting the research that culminated in his acclaimed theories of relativity, Albert Einstein (1879-1955) taught and lectured at universities around the world. Einstein received numerous awards and honorary doctorate degrees in science, medicine, and philosophy, and he remains a towering symbol of intellectual and imaginative achievement. 

It's All Relative 

Around 1950, Hayward Cirker, Founder and President of Dover Publications, wrote to Einstein and asked his approval to proceed with a Dover paperback reprint of the 1923 collection of original papers on relativity by Einstein himself and others (H. A. Lorentz, H. Weyl, and H. Minkowski), which had originally been published in England. Einstein was reluctant, wondering how much interest there could possibly be in this relic of his work from 30 or more years earlier. Cirker persisted, and Einstein finally agreed — the Dover edition of The Theory of Relativity has been in print ever since and has been followed by many other Dover books on relativity. 

The papers reprinted in this original collection will always be for the serious student the cornerstone of their Einstein library: Michelson's Interference Experiment (H. A. Lorentz); Electromagnetic Phenomena in a System Moving with any Velocity Less Than That of Light (H.A. Lorentz); On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies (A. Einstein); Does the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon its Energy Content? (A. Einstein); Space and Time (H. Minkowksi with notes by A. Sommerfeld); On the Influence of Gravitation on the Propagation of Light (A. Einstein); and The Foundation of the General Theory of Relativity (A. Einstein) found on pages 109–164 of this text; Hamilton's Principle and The General Theory of Relativity (A. Einstein); Cosmological Considerations on the General Theory of Relativity (A. Einstein); Do Gravitational Fields Play an Essential Part in the Structure of the Elementary Particles of Matter? (A. Einstein); and Gravitation and Electricity (H. Weyl).
