Relativity: The Special and General Theory. Einstein, A., Lawson, R. W., Geroch, R., & Cassidy, D. C. Pi Press, New York, NY, USA, The masterpiece science edition, 2005. Translated by Robert W. Lawson. Introduction by Roger Penrose. Commentary by Robert Geroch. Historical essay by David Cassidy.
Relativity: The Special and General Theory [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Robert Geroch builds on Einstein's work with commentary that addresses the ideas at the heart of the theory, bringing a modern understanding of relativity to the text. He elucidates how special relativity is a reconciliation of the contradictions between the nature of light and the principle of relativity; he expands on Einstein's treatment of the geometry of space–time and the fundamental notion of an ``event''; he explains in detail, but without technical language, the equivalence of inertial and gravitational mass, a cornerstone of general relativity.
