review text: This book examines in detail the classical theory of relativistic many-body dynamics using a world-time for self-consistency, completeness, and possible critical experiment. The theory, originally developed by Stueckelberg and generalized to many-body systems in works by Horwitz and Piron, allows to obtain solutions for special relativistic systems with long-range interaction in a manifestly covariant Lagrangian and Hamiltonian fashion. In particular, the authors consider the covariant Kepler problem.
