It can be classified as a historical-scientific work, as well as a bibliographic one, equally as a book concerned to celestial mechanics or to cosmology. ... The reader of the book can be happy to find here also a lot about the greatest scientists from the beginnning of the 20-th century ... . (Alex B. Gaina, zbMATH 1408.83004, 2019)
This is certainly the best work we have on de Sitter--and perhaps on Dutch astronomy in general. ... Scholars interested in astronomy in the first half of the twentieth century certainly need to read this book, as should those interested in scientific internationalism between the world wars.
