• General: Introductory:
  • Über die spezielle und die allgemeine Relitivitätstheorie (Gemeinverständlich) by Albert Einstein [Brunswick: Vieweg, 1920] English translation: Relativity: the Special and General Theory (A Popular Exposition) [London: Methuen, 1920]
  • Relativity, the Electron Theory, and Gravitation by Ebenezer Cunningham [London: Longmans, Green, 1921]
  • Space Time and Gravitation by Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington [Cambridge, 1921]
  • Einstein: Einblicke in seine Gedankenwelt by Alexander Moszkowski [Hamburg: Hoffmann & Campe, 1921] English translation: Einstein the Searcher [New York: Dutton, no date but clearly 1920s] One of the first popular expositions of relativity, based on conversations between the author (a then-famous Berlin literary figure) and Einstein himself. Quite different from most later works of a similar nature, especially in its otherworldly, poetic feel.
