      abstract = {Produced by an award-winning translator of Henri Poincaré,  this book contains translations of several seminal articles  by Poincaré and discusses the experimental and theoretical  investigations of electrons that form their context. In the  1950s, a dispute ignited about the origin of the theory of  special relativity and thrust considerable notoriety on a  paper written by Henri Poincaré in 1905. Accordingly, Part  I presents the relevant translations of Poincaré's work  showing that radiation carries momentum and the covariance  of the equations of electrodynamics, the continuity  equation for charge, and the spacetime interval. Part II  then discusses investigations by Thomson, Becquerel, and  Kaufmann of electrons in diverse contexts; contributions of  Abraham, Lorentz and Poincaré to a theory of electrons that  includes Lorentz transformations and explains the  dependence of mass on velocity; and finally, Poincaré's  exploration of the relativity principle, electron  stability, and gravitation while rejecting absolute motion  (ether) and an electromagnetic origin of mass. Part III  contains the 1904 article by H. A. Lorentz presenting his  transformations.--},
