Einstein accomodated that as well. You’re referring to Special Relativity. Einstein refers to General Relativity, which does not violate the old, physical laws of Special Relativity.
“The Evolution Of Physics” is available online for free download, at http://www.archive.org. Give it a quick look, it’s written in a very accessible, conversational style, in order to be accessible to as wide an audience as possible. It’s no impenetrable slog, there’s only one formula in it as I recall.
This book is by Einstein and Infeld, and as per Clark’s biography of Einstein, Infeld approached Einstein with the idea of collaborating on a popular work because he was in financial straits. Einstein was aware of this, and the implication seems to be that he agreed to it as a kindness to Infeld, who pretty much carried the load.
This is not to say that Einstein didn’t actually collaborate, and even if Infeld did the writing I’m sure he would have taken pains to reflect Einstein’s views, which were pretty well known to him. At the same time, one should be careful about attributing any particular implications to Einstein personally.
