A magificent literary masterpiece of joy and sorrow, tragedy and hope, love and despair. With brilliant twists and turns, Robert Resnick's classic "Introduction to Special Relativity" will take you on an epic journey that will fundamentally change your understanding of human nature, the world we live in, the War of 1812 and the Finnish economy. An absolutely fantastic piece of literature when I read it back in 1957 at the age of 8, and now as I re-read it as a 82 year old man, it is just as phenomenally poignant as it was when I first read it. As the great author Frank Lloyd Wright once said: "I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser. Midnights become my afternoons."
