When this book was originally published in 1979, the vitality of Einstein's general theory and its impact on other branches of science had never been greater. The unprecedented advances of the previous fifteen years had been stimulated on the observational side by developments in radar and space technology and by the discovery of exotic astronomical objects, which pointed to the existence of very strong gravitational fields, and possibly black holes, in many parts of the universe. Equally striking had been the progress in theoretical understanding, notably of black hole physics, the early history of the universe and the reconciliation of quantum physics and gravitational theory. To honour Einstein's hundredth birthday, twenty-one of the world's leading relativists collaborated on this carefully integrated survey of the state of research. This unique book, which remained a standard for many years, is indispensable to anyone concerned with the profound influence that Einstein's theory has exerted on our notions of space, time and the ultimate nature of matter. Owen O Shea was born in 1956 in Cobh, Country Cork, Ireland. Owen (and his twin brother, Michael) was the youngest of a family of eleven children. Owen has said that his parents and family lived on a modest income, but that his parents were hardworking and honest. His father was a non-commissioned officer in the Irish Naval Service. Owen s mother was a psychiatric nurse in London before she was married. Owen O Shea is a single person. He is employed as a civilian employee in the Department of Defense in Ireland. In his younger days Owen lectured occasionally on recreational mathematics to university students. He also frequently at that time voluntarily assisted various people in his community (particularly senior citizens) to complete forms in the areas of social welfare, pensions and tax to ensure that these persons obtained their legitimate entitlements from the Irish state. Owen is the author of a number of newspaper articles that appeared in Ireland in recent years. These articles ranged from such diverse topics as to how the date of Easter is calculated to a biographical sketch of Martin Luther King Jr. Owen has a wide range of hobbies. His first love is, of course, recreational mathematics. He is also interested in collecting and spotting strange coincidences. His other interests include mathematical magic, science, astronomy, nature, philosophy, poetry, conjuring, word play and history. This is Owen s first book. He says that he will be very pleased if those who read this book enjoy it as much as he has enjoyed writing it. Underwood Dudley earned his B.S. and M.S. degrees from the Carnegie Institute of Technology and his doctorate (in number theory) from the University of Michigan. He taught briefly at the Ohio State University and then at De Pauw University from 1967-2004. Woody has written six books and many papers, reviews, and commentaries. He has served in many editing positions, including editor of The Pi My Epsilon Journal, 1993-96 and The Colle
