Following earlier works examining Einstein's theory of relativity and his interests beyond science, Parker (a former professor of physics at Idaho State U.) completes his trilogy by discussing Einstein's contributions to science beyond relativity. Writing for a general audience, he explains how Einstein's theories have physics have led to advances in our understanding black hole physics, gravitational wave research, cosmic lensing, quantum physics, string theory, and the study of the creation and evolution of the universe.
