"Questions connected with the motion of bodies, such as the problem of gravitational radiation and the structure of sources, dominated the subsequent scientific activity of Infeld and his students. [Leopold Infeld, 1898-1968] showed that gravitational radiation is strongly inhibited by the nature of Einstein's equations, and he simplified the derivation of post-Newtonian corrections to the motion of celestial bodies. These results are collected in MOTION AND RELATIVITY (1960), a unique book on this subject, written by Infeld in collaboration with Jerzy Plebanski." - DSB, vol. VII. First Edition. Hard Cover.

First edition, offprint issue. Einstein and Infeld demonstrate that "field equations alone suffice as a basis for solving the problem of motion in general relativistic theory, since the Einstein equations not only determine how particles must respond to gravitational forces, but also contain the information necessary to describe those forces" (Calaprice, p. 323). Boni 259; Weil 223. Alice Calaprice, An Einstein Encyclopedia, 2015. Octavo, pp. 34. Original orange wrappers, wire-stitched as issued, front cover lettered in black.
