"In two ground-breaking papers, Einstein and Straus showed how galaxies fit into a Universe with zero pressure. This model helps to describe the universe observed today" (Harwit, p. 573). Boni 252 & 252.1; Weil 216. Martin Harwit, Astrophysical Concepts, 2010. Quarto, pp. 5. Disbound, wire-stitched as issued.
