Linguistic Relativity: Evidence Across Languages and Cognitive Domains (Applications of Cognitive Linguistics, Book 25)

This book introduces the reader to the current findings on linguistic relativity, and in so doing helps to answer one of the most vexing questions in the cognitive and social sciences: Does the language you speak affect how you think?

Relativity: The Special and the General Theory, 100th Anniversary edition

After completing the final version of his general theory of relativity in November 1915, Albert Einstein wrote a book about relativity for a popular audience. His intention was "to give an exact insight into the theory of relativity to those readers who, from a general scientific and philosophical point of view, are interested in the theory, but who are not conversant with the mathematical apparatus of theoretical physics." The book remains one of the most lucid explanations of the special and general theories ever written. In the early 1920s alone, it was translated into ten languages, and fifteen editions in the original German appeared over the course of Einstein's lifetime.
