Special and general principle of relativity ; The gravitational field ; The equality of inertial and gravitational mass as an argument for the general postulate of relativity ; In what respects are the foundations of classical mechanics and of the special theory of relativity unsatisfactory? ; A few inferences from the general principle of relativity ; Behaviour of clocks and measuring-rods on a rotating body of reference ; Euclidean and non-Euclidean continuum ; Gaussian co-ordinates ; The space-time continuum of the special theory of relativity considered as a Euclidean continuum ; The space-time continuum of the general theory of relativity is not a Euclidean continuum ; Exact formulation of the general principle of relativity ; The solution of the problem of gravitation on the basis of the general principle of relativity -- Part III: Considerations on the universe as a whole.

متن يادداشت

Robert Geroch builds on Einstein's work with commentary that addresses the ideas at the heart of the theory, bringing a modern understanding of relativity to the text. He elucidates how special relativity is a reconciliation of the contradictions between the nature of light and the principle of relativity; he expands on Einstein's treatment of the geometry of space-time and the fundamental notion of an "event"; he explains in detail, but without technical language, the equivalence of inertial and gravitational mass, a cornerstone of general relativity.
