Actually, altho I have a background in Science, I was hoping this might be dumbed-down a little. I first part was pretty easy to follow and was quite interesting. After that the author got into Mathematics and I got a tad lost.He, himself states near the end of the book: "...the basic ideas of the theory are really clear and simple; it is only to be regretted that  it is impossible to avoid clothing in pretty involved terms..."Lorentz wrote this when Einstein was only 45 years old. It is an interesting look at how relativity was viewed so long ago.I recommend it for that reason.
