Comment Read Einstein himself! (Score 3, Interesting) 378
I have found out that reading the original papers of Einstein elucidates a lot more than the whole of literature that's been wasted on the subject to introduce people to the ideas. Start with "Relativity : The Special and the General Theory" which is an introduction for everybody who followed math in highschool a little decently. Then read "The principle of relativity" published by Dover. You can buy both for $14.36 on amazon. I found those very understandable and I'm certainly no math wizard.
Einstein was a marvellous educator and his writing on the subject is way better than almost anybody else (except for Feynmann maybe).
