Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 12mo (19.5 cm), frontispiece, [2], XIV, 346, [4], 8 pp., correction slip inserted in the preface. Publisher's decorative cloth (binding rubbed at extremities; back board somewhat jagged at the head; endpapers, first and last leaves toned; ownership stamp on the front free endpaper). A collection…of essays and articles by leading scientists and mathematicians examining Einstein's revolutionary theories of relativity and gravitation. Originating from a $5,000 prize competition sponsored by Scientific American in 1909 to find the clearest popular explanation of relativity, this volume brings together twenty winning and notable submissions from international contributors including physicists and mathematicians from universities across America and Europe. The book addresses the fundamental concepts of space, time, and motion; Einstein's special and general theories; geometric methods; the space-time continuum; and the practical significance of relativity to physics and astronomy. Editor deliberately structures the material to prepare general readers adequately for understanding these complex subjects, avoiding the pitfall of inadequate scientific background that earlier popular treatments had failed to address.
