Very good for beginners Very little appreciation for formal math or physics is needed to enjoy this book. Someone with a reasonably analytic outlook could pick up this book and gain a fair amount of insight. Anyone who already has even a basic understanding of relativity should probably skip this book. The key. Four Stars Great !!. Einstein With Only One Equation! This is an interesting book about Einstein's life and work. There is only one equation -- guess which one! When the book said you only needed high school algebra to understand the Special Theory of Relativity, I wish it had included those equations. But -- one can find them elsewhere.
