The Mathematical Theory of Relativity
by Arthur Stanley Eddington
Publisher: Cambridge University Press 1923
Number of pages: 448
Description:
Sir Arthur Eddington here formulates mathematically his conception of the world of physics derived from the theory of relativity. The argument is developed in a form which throws light on the origin and significance of the great laws of physics; its consequences are followed to the full extent in the consideration of gravitation, relativity, mechanics, space-time, electromagnetic phenomena and world geometry.

Space, Time and Gravitation: An Outline of the General Relativity Theory
by Arthur Stanley Eddington - Cambridge University Press
The author gives an account of general relativity theory without introducing anything very technical in the way of mathematics, physics, or philosophy. It is hoped that the book may also appeal to those who have gone into the subject more deeply.
