From Riemann to differential geometry and relativity, Berlin: Springer, 647 p

This book is on the work of Bernhard Riemann and its impact on mathematics, philosophy and physics. It contains expository and historical expositions as well as a few research articles which are motivated by Riemann's ideas and which show their timelessness. The editors are convinced that there is always a need to go deeply into Riemann's work, investigating his orignal ideas, including them in a large perspective and establishing relations with modern science and philosophy. The contributors to this volume are mathematicians, physicists, philosophers and historians of science. The book is addressed to students and researchers in mathematics, physics and philosophy, to historians of science, and more generally to a wide range of readers interested in the history of ideas.
