Description:... In the thirties and forties of this century Eddington's name was a household word in the English-speaking world, and even beyond, as the result of his publication of semi-popular books of science and philosophy, including much material found controversial. In a more restricted, but world-wide, circle, he was revered for his outstanding contributions to astronomy, and physics, especially in kinematics of stars, relativity theory and astrophysics.
