Abstract
L Pearce Williams (Ed) Sussex: John Wiley 1968 pp x + 159 price £3 6s ( cloth ) £1 7s ( paper ) Anyone who has made the concepts of relativity his own might find this volume of interest. It is a collection of readings starting with extracts from Newton's Principia and Mach's Mechanics , continuing with others from Einstein and his contemporaneous fellow physicists and ending with pages from nonphysicists, some of whom saw meanings in Einstein's work which surely amazed him.
