Description: By Harvard educated, widely read, bench scientist Robert Epstein & with illustrations by Dutch artist-poet-scientist, Leo Vroman, IRRELATIVITY synthesizes unequal parts of the philosophy of sci-ence & science fiction with perfectly necessary doses of wit & humor as mirthful catalysts. Epstein tells us that he wrote it for "the reader who doesn't already know everything about the universe," & "to the memory of Albert Einstein, who once said, really, that imagination is more important than knowledge." @ $16.95 (retail). RECENT CRITICAL COMMENTS: "A rich mix of fact & fantasy, told in a style somewhere between Martin Gardner & Henny Youngman. Epstein spoofs: Big Science while simultaneously conveying real data about the universe. A fun book."--Charles Platt, author of THE SILICON MAN. "Einstein meets Seinfeld! An oddly satisfying romp through some really weird neighborhoods of both substance & theory. Douglas Adams, take a glance over your shoulder & say hello to Robert Epstein!"--Mike Sirota, author of BICYCLING THROUGH SPACE & TIME. Order from ASTRION (P.O.
