Abstract
THIS monograph collects, in 87 pages, those deductions of the results of relativity theory that find most frequent application in physics. The applications of special relativity to kinematics, mechanics, optics, electromagnetic theory, atomic physics, thermodynamics, statistical mechanics and hydromechanics, are dealt with in successive chapters, the results in each case being generally emphasised by italics. A good index, and a bibliography at the end of each chapter, complete a very handy book of reference.
