Abstract

The article presents information on several books "Einstein's Theory of Relativity," by Max Born, "Space, Time, Motion," by A. V. Vasiliev, Space and Time," by Carl Benedicks. Last year a college teacher in Louvain University counted 3,775 Lad books and papers that had been written, mostly within the last ten years, on Einstein's theory of relativity. And here come three more: one from Germany, one from Russia, and one from Sweden. But this outpour is not to be wondered at or objected to if Bertrand Russell is right in saying, in his introduction to the Russiau book, that "The general theory of relativity is probably the greatest synthetic achievement of the human intellect up to the present time.
