Nathalie Deruelle and Jean-Philippe Uzan are researchers in Theoretical Physics. After a career at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in France, Nathalie Deruelle is now an invited professor at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB).Jean-Philippe Uzan is a CNRS researcher at the Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris (IAP) from Sorbonne Université. They are both affiliated professors at the Kyoto Yukawa Institute (YITP).

A very rich book: All notions like relativity, space and time are carefully explained, their history is mentioned by giving plenty of footnotes. The mathematical side, the experimental side, and the view of the theoretical physicist are presented adequately at the respective places.
