    This sourceTreats cosmology as a branch of physics; discusses cosmological reference frames, the comoving/substratum frame, and Machian implications for frame choice in the large-scale universe. CITATION-FIX: year corrected from 1959 (no such edition; 1st ed. 1952, 2nd ed. 1960). NOTE: the book predates the 1965 discovery of the CMB, so it cannot operationally define inertial frames 'using the CMB' (see flag).
