It is common to attribute the intellectual property of the special theory of Relativity to Albert Einstein, suggesting that he developed it from scratch and alone. But historians of physics have long known that most of the theory of relativity was already being developed before Einstein even arrived on the scene. Important and notable scientists, such as Hendrik Lorentz and Henri Poincaré, had been working on this subject for a long time before Einstein, who was quite young compared to these veterans. In 1905, when Einstein published his paper on special relativity, he was 26 years old, while Lorentz was already 52 and Poincaré was 51. In the popular imagination, she is associated with Albert Einstein, who is usually considered a solitary genius who created alone special relativity. But I will show here that this view is mistaken and unfair.

Pirani also coordinated the 1985 edition, after the author's death. It was this last revised version that was used in this series.
