Schlick M. Space and Time in Contemporary Physics: An Introduction to the Theory of Relativity and Gravitation

3rd Edition. – Dover Publications, Inc., Mineola, N.Y. USA, 2005. – 104 p. – ISBN: 0- 486-44283-7Since the appearance of the seeond edition the physical theory which is expounded in the book has been brilianfly confirmed by astronomioal observations. General interest has been excited to a high degree, and the name of its creator shines with still greater lustre than before. The fundamental importance of the theory of relativity is beginning to be recognized more and more on all sides, and there is no doubt but that, before long it wilt become an accepted constituent of the scieutific world-view.
The number of those who are filled with wonder at this aehievement of genius has inoreased much more rapidly than the number of those who thoroughly understand it. For this reason, the demand for explanations of the underlying principles of the theory has not decreased but, on the contrary, is growing. This is shown by the fact that the second edition, although more numerous than the first, became exhausted more rapidly.From Newton to Einstein
