"Gutfreund and Renn have produced a lucid, readable, and deeply informed account of Einstein's development of relativity theory. Focusing on Einstein's 1921 trip to America and the lectures he gave there, this impressive work is invaluable for experts and lay readers. It puts Einstein's lectures in the context of the formative years of his theory and shows how, after the 1919 eclipse observations, his theory launched one of the greatest transformations in the history of science."--Walter Isaacson, author of Einstein and Steve Jobs
"This book successfully provides a comprehensive account of the formative years of the early development of relativity from the 1910s through to the early 1920s. It is unusual in offering an approachable treatment of relativity that also remains true to the best histories of the subject."--Richard Staley, University of Cambridge
"This book brings into focus a critical period in the development of general relativity, which Gutfreund and Renn dub the 'formative years.' Their new material helps enliven Einstein's tremendous contributions. The work promises insights for specialists even while it remains accessible to general readers. It is a pleasure to read."--David Kaiser, author of How the Hippies Saved Physics
