About this Item

First edition, offprint issue. Einstein and Infeld demonstrate that "field equations alone suffice as a basis for solving the problem of motion in general relativistic theory, since the Einstein equations not only determine how particles must respond to gravitational forces, but also contain the information necessary to describe those forces" (Calaprice, p. 323). Boni 259; Weil 223. Alice Calaprice, An Einstein Encyclopedia, 2015. Octavo, pp. 34. Original orange wrappers, wire-stitched as issued, front cover lettered in black. Front wrapper lightly marked: a near-fine copy.
