Editorial Reviews

Review

`It is a profound book, the significance of which will increase with the years. Not since Helmholz has any one mastered physics, mathematics and psychology as Russell has.' - Herald Tribune

`The force of his long training in philosophy and mathematics forces each item in position and cuts it in the closeness of contact. He succeeds in establishing a way to think about physics - by making it, in spite of himself, metaphysical.' - Hound and Horn

`The whole book is candid and stimulating and for both its subject and its treatment, one of the best that Mr Russell has given us.' - The Times --Na --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
