In this book, the author presents his special theory of relativity (STR) and the quantum theory to young physicists in a lucid and exciting manner. He touches on history, relativistic kinematics, relativistic dynamics and relativistic electrodynamics briefly and in a novel approach. The book is presented with lots of examples, illustrations and problems at the end of each chapter. The author presents time dilation in a simple fashion where the constancy of the velocity of light in different frames is presented in a subtle fashion. Since Einstein is considered as one of the supreme intellects of all time therefore author dedicated first chapter to him with a brief life sketch.
