Documents Albert Einstein's visible public persona in his correspondence, honors and prizes, lectures and travels, articles, and the many solicitations asking him to join public initiatives.

Presents letters written by Einstein's sons, the adolescent Hans Albert and little Eduard, and numerous letters written by Einstein to his cousin and future second wife Elsa Einstein. Combined with correspondence with his close friend Heinrich Zangger, this supplementary correspondence provides details of Einstein's private life.

Set in the turbulent post-World War I period, this volume finds Einstein awaiting news of the 1919 British eclipse expedition to test the general relativistic prediction of the deflection of starlight by the sun. It reveals facets of Einstein as he constructively participated in German and European scientific, academic, and cultural life.

Set in the turbulent post-World War I period, this volume finds Einstein awaiting news of the 1919 British eclipse expedition to test the general relativistic prediction of the deflection of starlight by the sun. It reveals fresh facets of Einstein as he constructively participated in German and European scientific, academic, and cultural life.

Presents Einstein's writings for the two-year period starting in October 1909. This volume concludes with the report that Einstein, by then a full professor at the German-language university in Prague, gave to the original Solvay Congress, the first international meeting devoted to the problems of radiation and the quantum theory.

Presents Einstein's writings for the two-year period starting in October 1909. This volume concludes with the masterful report that Einstein gave to the original Solvay Congress, the first international meeting devoted to the problems of radiation and the quantum theory.

Contains the scientific work Einstein published during the first decade of his career, and includes some of the most significant achievements of twentieth-century physics. This work includes the famous paper that set forth the special theory of relativity, solving some long-standing difficulties.

Presents material on the young Einstein. In addition to Einstein's known correspondence and other writings from this period, this volume includes the relevant portions of third-party letters and other contemporary documents that provide additional information.

In the spring of 1919, two British solar eclipse expeditions confirmed the correctness of general relativity theory and propelled Albert Einstein to instant celebrity. This work include a collection of papers of Einstien.

In the spring of 1919, two British solar eclipse expeditions confirmed the correctness of general relativity theory and propelled Albert Einstein to instant celebrity. This title includes, the majority of Einstein's writings.

Opens in spring 1914 when Einstein takes up a research professorship at the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin and closes with the collapse of the German Empire four and one-half years later. The letters collected here touch on various aspects of Einstein's activities and shed light on his inner life.

Presents Einstein's writings from the final period of his work in Switzerland. This volume documents Einstein's search for a relativistic theory of gravitation, a search that ended in Berlin in the fall of 1915 with the completion of the general theory of relativity.

Part of a series to be devoted to Einstein's correspondence, this volume contains letters and begins in June 1902, when he went to work at the Swiss Patent Office. It closes in March 1914, as Einstein left Switzerland to take up his appointment as a member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin.

Presents Albert Einstein's writings from his arrival in Berlin in the spring of 1914 to take up his new position at the Prussian Academy of Sciences through the end of 1917. This book contains papers describing Einstein's experimental investigation, a study of Ampere's molecular currents, which he carried out with the Dutch physicist W J de Haas.

Documents Albert Einstein's scientific activity: his concentration for years on the unfathomable problems of quanta and radiation, his knowledge of experimental physics, his many fruitful interactions with experimentalists, and his struggle to generalize the 1905 theory of relativity to include gravitation and accelerated frames of reference.

Modesty, humor, compassion, and wisdom are the traits most evident in this illuminating selection of personal papers from the Albert Einstein Archives. The illustrious physicist wrote as thoughtfully to an Ohio fifth-grader, distressed by her discovery that scientists classify humans as animals, as to a Colorado banker who asked whether Einstein believed in a personal God. Witty rhymes, an exchange with Queen Elizabeth of Belgium about fine music, and expressions of his devotion to Zionism are but some of the highlights found in this warm and enriching book.

The most famous scientist of the twentieth century, Albert Einstein was also one of the century's most outspoken political activists. Deeply engaged with the events of his tumultuous times, from the two world wars and the Holocaust, to the atomic bomb and the Cold War, to the effort to establish a Jewish homeland, Einstein was a remarkably prolific political writer, someone who took courageous and often unpopular stands against nationalism, militarism, anti-Semitism, racism, and McCarthyism. In Einstein on Politics, leading Einstein scholars David Rowe and Robert Schulmann gather Einstein's most important public and private political writings and put them into historical context. The book reveals a little-known Einstein--not the ineffectual and naive idealist of popular imagination, but a principled, shrewd pragmatist whose stands on political issues reflected the depth of his humanity.Nothing encapsulates Einstein's profound involvement in twentieth-century politics like the atomic bomb. Here we read the former militant pacifist's 1939 letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt warning that Germany might try to develop an atomic bomb. But the book also documents how Einstein tried to explain this action to Japanese pacifists after the United States used atomic weapons to destroy Hiroshima and Nagasaki, events that spurred Einstein to call for international control of nuclear technology.A vivid firsthand view of how one of the twentieth century's greatest minds responded to the greatest political challenges of his day, Einstein on Politics will forever change our picture of Einstein's public activism and private motivations.

¿In der vorliegenden Ausarbeitung von vier Vorträgen, die ich an der Universität Princeton im Mai 1921 gehalten habe, wollte ich die Hauptgedanken und mathematischen Methoden der Relativitätstheorie zusammenfassen. Dabei habe ich mich bemüht, alles weniger Wesentliche wegzulassen, das Grundsätzliche aber doch so zu behandeln, dass das Ganze als Einführung für alle diejenigen dienen kann, welche die Elemente der höheren Mathematik beherrschen, aber nicht allzuviel Zeit und Mühe auf den Gegenstand verwenden wollen. Auf Vollständigkeit kann diese kurze Darlegung selbstverständlich keinen Anspruch machen, zumal ich die feineren, mehr mathematisch interessanten Entwicklungen, welche sich auf Variationsrechnung gründen, nicht behandelt habe. Mein Hauptziel war es, das Grundsätzliche in dem ganzen Gedankengang der Theorie klar hervortreten zu lassen.¿ Albert Einstein (Vorwort zur 1. Auflage der "Vier Vorlesungen über Relativitätstheorie")

¿Das vorliegende Büchlein soll solchen eine möglichst exakte Einsicht in die Relativitätstheorie vermitteln, die sich vom allgemein wissenschaftlichen, philosophischen Standpunkt für die Theorie interessieren, ohne den mathematischen Apparat der theoretischen Physik zu beherrschen. Die Lektüre setzt etwa Maturitätsbildung und - trotz der Kürze des Büchleins - ziemlich viel Geduld und Willenskraft beim Leser voraus. Der Verfasser hat sich die größte Mühe gegeben, die Hauptgedanken möglichst deutlich und einfach vorzubringen, im ganzen in solcher Reihenfolge und in solchem Zusammenhange, wie sie tatsächlich entstanden sind. Im Interesse der Deutlichkeit erschien es mir unvermeidlich, mich oft zu wiederholen, ohne auf die Eleganz der Darstellung die geringste Rücksicht zu nehmen; ich hielt mich gewissenhaft an die Vorschrift des genialen Theoretikers L. Boltzmann, man solle die Eleganz Sache der Schneider und Schuster sein lassen.¿ Albert Einstein (Aus dem Vorwort)

In April 1922, we find Einstein lecturing in Paris, engaged in reestablishing ties among scientists in former enemy nations. This title recounts in poetic prose the hectic schedule on land, the contemplative rest at sea, and his musings on science, philosophy, and art during his first encounter with the Far East, Palestine, and Spain.

Albert Einsteins grundlegende Arbeiten zur Relativitatstheorie Karl von Meyenn Unter der ungewohnlich groBen Anzahl hervorragender Gelehrter und Naturwissenschaftler, die das 20. Jahrhundert in seinem Verlaufe hervor­ gebracht hat, nimmt Albert Einstein weiterhin eine einzigartige Sonder­ stellung ein. Seine drei beriihmten Abhandlungen aus dem Jahre 1905, von denen eine die Relativitatstheorie begriindete, hatten ihn innerhalb von wenigen Jahren sprungartig von seiner Berner AuBenseiterstellung in den Mittelpunkt des allgemeinen wissenschaftlichen Lebens der damali­ gen Zeit versetzt. Internationalen Ruhm erlangte er aber erst durch die Bestatigung seiner aufgrund der allgemeinen Relativitatstheorie vorherge­ sagten Lichtablenkung im Gravitationsfeld der Sonne, die wahrend einer total en Sonnenfinsternis im Mai 1919 beobachtet werden konnte. Aber schon im September 1906, wahrend der Naturforscherversamm­ lung in Stuttgart, hatte der angesehenste Physiker des Deutschen Reiches Max Planck Partei fUr die "Lorentz-Einsteinsche Theorie" des deformier­ baren Elektrons ergriffen. Obwohl die bei dieser Gelegenheit diskutierten Kaufmannschen Ablenkbarkeitsmessungen von Elektronen eher zUgun­ sten der konkurrierenden Kugel-Theorie des starren Elektrons von Max Abraham (1903) ausgelegt werden konnten, war Planck (1906a) "wegen der groBartigen Vereinfachung aller Probleme der Elektrodynamik" von der Richtigkeit des Einsteinschen Gedankens uberzeugt. Die "experimen­ telle Bestatigung der Lorentz-Ensteinschen Theorie" wurde dann tatsach­ lich zwei Jahre spater durch Alfred Bucherer (1908) erbracht.
