The Curious History of Relativity: How Einstein's Theory of Gravity Was Lost and Found Again
For those familiar with Fred Hoyle and his intriguing work, this very detailed and readable book will make a fine addition to the bookcase.
It does however, require firm attention to understand fully some of the descriptive passages, but rewards clear concentration. Although cosmology and recent astronomical research have moved on and beyond the scope of Hoyle`s work, this nevertheless provides keen insight into an important part of the journey.
