One DeBaser review (by cptgaio) discusses Bertrand Russell's The ABC of Relativity, praising its clarity and lasting value as a popular explanation of Einstein's ideas. The review highlights Russell's accessible style and situates the book among popular science works. Recommended for readers seeking an entry point to relativity.

For:General readers interested in science popularization, philosophy of science, and introductions to relativity.

 "A certain type of superior people really likes to repeat -everything is relative-. This is naturally nonsense, because if -everything- were relative, there would be nothing left with which to be in relation" (Bertrand Russell from "L'ABC della relatività")
