Critics Review
A very rich book: All notions like relativity, space and time are carefully explained, their history is mentioned by giving plenty of footnotes. The mathematical side, the experimental side, and the view of the theoretical physicist are presented adequately at the respective places. * Hans-Jürgen Schmidt, zbMath *It brings together, in a coherent way, classical Newtonian physics, special relativity and general relativity, emphasising common underlying principles. * Virginia Greco, CERN Courier *
