The Renaissance of General Relativity in Context [E-Book] / edited by Alexander S. Blum, Roberto Lalli, Jürgen Renn.
This contributed volume explores the renaissance of general relativity after World War II, when it transformed from a marginal theory into a cornerstone of modern physics. Chapters explore key historical processes related to the theory of general relativity, in addition to presenting a thorough trea...
