Review text

The translation from the English language original to this German language edition has been made by Jürgen Kremer. For the first original edition from 1992 see [Zbl 0769.53048]. For the edition from 2003, which is the source for the present translation, see [Zbl 1010.83002]. For the contents, the review in [Zbl 0769.53048] is still valid. What is new in this edition: In the reference list, two German language titles are added, several exercises are added, together with hints to the solutions. For me, it was especially interesting, that Woodhouse distinguished in chapter 4 between velocity/Geschwindigkeit (which has the upper bound \(c\)) on the one hand and rapidity/Schnelligkeit (without upper bound) on the other.
