The Genesis of General Relativity [E-Book] / edited by Michel Janssen, John D. Norton, Jürgen Renn, Tilman Sauer, John Stachel.
This four-volume work represents the most comprehensive documentation and study of the creation of general relativity; one of the fundamental physical theories of the 20th century. It comprises key sources from Einstein and others who from the late 19th to the early 20th century contributed to this...
