Penrose, Roger; Rindler, Wolfgang Spinors and space-time. Volume 1: Two-spinor calculus and relativistic fields. (Reprinted with corrections). (English) Zbl 0602.53001 Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics. Cambridge etc.: Cambridge University Press. X, 458 p. Ł 17.50; $ 29,95 (1986). This is a paperback reprint of the original hardcover edition which appeared in 1984 [cf. Zbl 0538.53024]. It is a welcome addition to the literature, and the authors have taken the opportunity to correct minor typographical errors (which were inevitable in a book having so many complicated equations), but no other changes appear to have been made.
