| Summary, etc | THE SEARCH FOR TRUTH This is a brilliant, readable and clear report, by a gifted journalist, of the significance of Einstein{u2019}s theories and their far reaching effect upon the modern world. Written for laymen, it penetrates the realms of space, explains the facts available on the nature of atoms, and merges for purposes of clarity, the relation between philosophy and modern science. Utilizing the theories of Newton, Planck, Gamow, Lemaitre and Jeans, Barnett explains the Einstein concept of the universe. Relating these scientific theories to the philosophical systems existing at the time, he shows how all forms of human activity are influenced by the discoveries of science, and how Einstein{u2019}s theories are a step in this long history of research.?Everybody who has a mind, or who imagines he is a thinker, should understand this much of Relativity as a minimum.????????Philip Wylie?The Universe and Dr. Einstein sets a new standard in science writing and is, I think, the first American book that can be compared in maturity, clarity, and grace with the distinguished and influential works of Sir James Jeans and Sir Arthur Eddington.????????Gerald Wendt, N.Y. Herald Tribune Book Review?I do not see how Lincoln Barnett could have done a more skillful job in his attempt to get a reasonably popular yet valid sketch of the philosophical concepts which physical experiments of this century have forced on science.????????Karl T. Compton, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. |
