==Further reading== {{refbegin}} * Dicke, Robert H.; "New Research on Old Gravitation", ''Science'' '''129''', 3349 (1959). Explains the value of research on gravitation and distinguishes between the strong (later renamed "Einstein") and weak equivalence principles. * Dicke, Robert H.; "Mach's Principle and Equivalence", in ''Evidence for gravitational theories: proceedings of course 20 of the International School of Physics "Enrico Fermi"'', ed. C. Møller (Academic Press, New York, 1962). This article outlines the approach to precisely testing general relativity advocated by Dicke and pursued from 1959 onwards. * Misner, Charles W.; Thorne, Kip S.; and Wheeler, John A.; ''Gravitation'', New York: W. H. Freeman and Company, 1973, Chapter 16 discusses the equivalence principle. * Ohanian, Hans; and Ruffini, Remo; ''Gravitation and Spacetime 2nd edition'', New York: Norton, 1994, {{ISBN|0-393-96501-5}} Chapter 1 discusses the equivalence principle, but incorrectly, according to modern usage, states that the strong equivalence principle is wrong. * Will, Clifford M.; ''Theory and experiment in gravitational physics'', Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 1993. This is the standard technical reference for tests of general relativity. * Will, Clifford M.; ''Was Einstein Right?: Putting General Relativity to the Test'', Basic Books (1993). This is a popular account of tests of general relativity. * Friedman, Michael; ''Foundations of Space-Time Theories'', Princeton, New Jersey: Princeton University Press, 1983. Chapter V discusses the equivalence principle. {{refend}}
