Shipped with care. --- An edited collection in the Series in High Energy Physics, Cosmology and Gravitation, with I. Ciufolini, E. Coccia, V. Gorini, N. Vittorio and R. Peron serving as editors. The volume gathers contributions on classical relativity, relativistic astrophysics, cosmology and their points of contact with theoretical and experimental particle physics, ranging in scale from the Hubble length to the Planck length. Among its articles are extended discussions of experimental tests of relativity, alongside chapters that carry the treatment through to the quantum frontier and the relationships among particles, fields, strings and branes. Reviewing the book in Contemporary Physics, R. Ellis described it as a collection of articles whose most valuable chapters were those devoted to experimental tests of relativity, which he considered to capture recent progress in the field. …
