First published in1966, here is presented a comprehensive overview
of one of the most elusive scientific speculations by the
pre-eminent genius of the 20th century. The theory is viewed by
some scientists with deep suspicion, by others with optimism, but
all agree that it represents an extreme challenge. As the author
herself affirms, this work is not intended to be a complete
treatise or 'didactic exposition' of the theory of unified fields,
but rather a tool for further study, both by students and
professional physicists. Dealing with all the major areas of
research which together comprise the development of a working
model, the author ranges over conservation equations, variational
principles, solutions of spherical symmetry, and treats a wide
selection of Einstein's own equations. The final chapter indicates
problems associated with the unified field theory, in particular
the energy-momentum tensor and geodesics.
