Recensione

"Nerlich, a well-established philosopher of space and time, has provided a set of erudite and highly technical essays that will prove richly rewarding for scholars of the philosophy of space and time....a presentation of value for those who already know relativity and wish to know more about the metaphysical subtleties of its meaning." Choice

"...the essays in this book constitute an important and thoughtful contribution to the philosophy of space and time. The author presents incisive treatments of a number of long-standing and crucial issues." Lawrence Sklar, Mathematical Reviews
