Great Book
For me, this book has a complete and easy to follow explanation of Einstein's derivation of the Lorentz transformation and other results from the assumption that the speed of light is the same in all reference frames. It's surprising that no one before him had seen the relationship. There was a lot of discussion and ideas and several scientists were very close to seeing the light, but Einstein was able to ignore the ether distraction and plow ahead.The book arrived on time as promised.

Not for beginners !!
Born has set himself quite a difficult objective : a review of classical mechanics, optics and electromagnetism, reminding at each step why they are superseded by relativity... Followed by an introduction to both special and general relativity... All in 370 pages !From that point of view, it's a success.But the book may exhaust a beginner, mainly due to a horrible layout of formulae and proofs ; oversimplification at times, lack of explanation at others; added to a bad translation... e.g. in section 11, chapter VII, where the reader may, additionally, be led to believe that the velocity of light is not constant, as Born doesn't state the difference between "coordinate" velocity and "physical" velocity of light !!Contrary to Eddington' s "Gravitation", where the author didn't forget to insist on that subtle point... (See my review of Einstein's "The principle of relativity").
