Editorial Review(s)
"The Universe and Dr. Einstein sets a new standard in science wirting 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
"Everybody who has a mind, or who imagines he is a thinker, should understand this much of Relativity as a minimum." —Philip Wylie
