"Questions connected with the motion of bodies, such as the problem of gravitational radiation and the structure of sources, dominated the subsequent scientific activity of Infeld and his students. [Leopold Infeld, 1898-1968] showed that gravitational radiation is strongly inhibited by the nature of Einstein's equations, and he simplified the derivation of post-Newtonian corrections to the motion of celestial bodies. These results are collected in MOTION AND RELATIVITY (1960), a unique book on this subject, written by Infeld in collaboration with Jerzy Plebanski." - DSB, vol. VII. First Edition. Hard Cover.

Store description
About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
