The Travel Diaries of Albert Einstein
The first publication of Albert Einstein’s travel diary to the Far East and Middle East In the fall of 1922, Albert Einstein, along with his then-wife, Elsa Einstein, embarked on a five-and-a-half-month voyage to the Far East and Middle East, regions that the renowned physicist had never visited before. Einstein''s lengthy itinerary consisted of stops in Hong Kong and Singapore, two brief stays in China, a six-week whirlwind lecture tour of Japan, a twelve-day tour of Palestine, and a three-week visit to Spain. This handsome edition makes available, for the first time, the complete journal that Einstein kept on this momentous journey. The telegraphic-style diary entries--quirky, succinct, and at times irreverent—record Einstein''s musings on science, philosophy, art, and politics, as well as his immediate impressions and broader thoughts on such events as his inaugural lecture at the future site of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, a garden party hosted by the Japanese Empress, an audience with the King of Spain, and meetings with other prominent colleagues and statesmen. Entries also contain passages that reveal Einstein''s stereotyping of members of various nations and raise questions about his attitudes on race. This beautiful edition features stunning facsimiles of the diary''s pages, accompanied by an English translation, an extensive historical introduction, numerous illustrations, and annotations. Supplementary materials include letters, postcards, speeches, and articles, a map of the voyage, a chronology, a bibliography, and an index. Einstein would go on to keep a journal for all succeeding trips abroad, and this first volume of his travel diaries offers an initial, intimate glimpse into a brilliant mind encountering the great, wide world.

Autobiographical Notes

Autobiographical Notes
Written with clarity, humanity, and grace, this essay is the only autobiography that Einstein has left to us. Not so much a memoir as an account of his intellectual development, it moves from his youthful interest in geometry to the influence of the work of such fellow scientists as Maxwell, Mach, and Bohr on the growth of his own theories. First published as an element of the Library of Living Philosophers volume, Albert Einstein: Philosopher-Scientist, the essay is here presented in both the original German and a revised English translation to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of Einstein''s birth.

Dear Professor Einstein

Dear Professor Einstein
We are often amazed by the curiosity of children and the questions they ask. And letters to and from children are always appealing, especially so when they are written to someone famous. In Dear professor Einstein, Alice Calaprice has gathered a delightful and charming collection of more than sixty letters from children to Albert Einstein. Einstein could not respond to every letter written to him, but the responses he did find the time to write reveal the intimate human side of the great public persona, a man who, though he spent his days contemplating mathematics and physics, was very fond of children and enjoyed being in their company. Whether the children wrote to Einstein for class projects, out of curiosity, or because of prodding from a parent, their letters are amusing, touching, and sometimes quite precocious. Enhancing this correspondence are numerous splendid photographs showing Einstein amid children, wearing an Indian headdress, carrying a puppet of himself, and donning fuzzy slippers, among many other wonderful pictures. This book is complete with a foreword by Einstein''s granddaughter Evelyn, a biography and chronology of Einstein''s life, and an essay by Einstein scholar Robert Schulmann on the great scientist''s educational philosophy.

Einstein on Humanism
This volume of collected essays by Albert Einstein covers the period of his life between 1931 and 1950. Einstein did not belong to that group of scholars who live in the ivory tower of their research work oblivious of the world around them. On the contrary, he was always an astute and critical observer of the trends and needs of his time. This collection reflects the philosophical as well as political and social attitudes of its author, and we feel privileged to offer them to the public with hardly any editorial change-- a moving document of the workings of a conscientious, profound, and deeply humane mind.

The Meaning of Relativity
Albert Einstein; born 14 March 1879 and died 18 April 1955 was a German-born theoretical physicist. He produced the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of contemporary physics (alongside quantum mechanics). Einstein''s work is also known for its impact on the philosophy of science. Einstein is best recognized by the people for his mass-energy equivalence formula E = mc2 (which has been called "the world''s most famous equation"). Albert earned the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his work on theoretical physics, and particularly for his identification of the law of the photoelectric effect," a crucial step in the unfolding of quantum theory. At the beginning of his career, Einstein reasoned that Newtonian mechanics was no longer sufficient to harmonize the laws of classical mechanics with the ones of the electromagnetic field. This conclusion led him to formulate his special theory of relativity while working at the Swiss Patent Office in Bern (1902-1909), Switzerland. He recognized, however, that the principle of relativity could also encompass the gravitational fields, resulting in his consequent theory of gravitation in 1916, he wrote a paper on general relativity. Einstein continued to deal with dilemmas of statistical mechanics and quantum theory, that led to his explanations of particle theory and the movement of molecules. He also examined the thermal properties of light that laid the grounds for the photon theory of light. In 1917, Albert applied the general theory of relativity to model the large-scale structure of the universe. Between 1895 and 1914 while he lived in Switzerland (except for one year in Prague, 1911-12), where he earned his academic diploma from the Swiss Federal Polytechnic in Zurich in 1900. He later stays to teach there at the same institute as a professor of theoretical physics between 1912 and 1914 then he left for Berlin. In 1901, after being stateless for more than five years, Albert acquired Swiss citizenship, which he kept for the rest of his life. In 1905, Albert was awarded a Ph.D. from the University of Zurich. The same year, his annus mirabilis (miracle year), during he published four groundbreaking papers, which brought him to the eyes of the academic world, at only the age of 26. Einstein was visiting the United States when Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933 and, being from Jewish assent, did not return to Germany, where he was a professor at the Berlin Academy of Sciences. Albert settled in the United States, becoming an American citizen in 1940. On the eve of World War II, he endorsed a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt informing him to the potential development of "potent bombs of a new type" and urging that the U.S. begin comparable research, which led to the Manhattan Project. Albert supported defending the Allied forces but denounced the idea of using the discovered nuclear fission as a weapon. Next, together with the British philosopher Bertrand Russell, he signed the Russell-Einstein Manifesto highlighting the danger of nuclear weapons. Albert was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, until his death in 1955. Einstein wrote 300-plus scientific papers and more than 150 non-scientific works. Albert''s intellectual achievements and originality have made the word "Einstein" synonymous with "genius."

Relativity the Special General Theory
How better to learn the Special Theory of Relativity and the General Theory of Relativity than directly from their creator, Albert Einstein himself? In Relativity: The Special and the General Theory, Einstein describes the theories that made him famous, illuminating his case with numerous examples and a smattering of math. This book is not a casual reading, but for those who appreciate his work without diving into the arcana of theoretical physics, it will prove a stimulating read. "The present book is intended," Einstein wrote in 1916, "as far as possible, to give an exact insight into the theory of Relativity to those readers who, from a general scientific and philosophical point of view, are interested in the theory, but who are not conversant with the mathematical apparatus of theoretical physics."

Einstein's 1912 Manuscript on the Special Theory of Relativity
"This volume presents one of the most influential scientific documents of the twentieth century: Albert Einstein''s (1879-1955) exposition of the theory of relativity. Each of the seventy-two handwritten pages of Einstein''s seminal work are faithfully reproduced here and are accompanied on their facing pages by an English translation of the original German text." "A tribute to Einstein''s genius, Einstein''s 1912 Manuscript on the Special Theory of Relativity opens with a brief essay by Hanoch Gutfreund, a chronology of Einstein''s life, and, to introduce the manuscript, a detailed description of the manuscript, its contents, publication history, and provenance. The manuscript pages themselves then follow, reproduced in full color, with the English translation facing each page." "Subtle variations in paper and ink are clearly visible in the excellent reproductions, indicating where and when Einstein drafted certain parts of this scientific masterpiece. Because the manuscript shows extensive reworking, it reveals Einstein''s thought processes more than any other of his handwritten works, inviting the reader to either imaginatively or actually toil alongside Einstein toward the completion of this elegant proof."--BOOK JACKET.

Albert Einstein Relativity

Albert Einstein Relativity
Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879 - April 18, 1955) was a German-born American theoretical physicist who is widely regarded as the greatest scientist of the 20th century. He proposed the theory of relativity and also made major contributions to the development of quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and cosmology. He was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect and for his services to Theoretical Physics . After his general theory of relativity was formulated in November 1915, Einstein became world famous, an unusual achievement for a scientist. In his later years, his fame exceeded that of any other scientist in history, and in popular culture, Einstein has become a byword for great intelligence or even genius. Einstein himself was deeply concerned with the social impact of scientific discovery. An individual of monumental intellectual achievement, he remains the most influential theoretical physicist of the modern era. Einstein`s reverence for all creation, his belief in the grandeur, beauty and sublimity of the universe (the primary source of inspiration in science), his awe for the scheme that is manifested in the material universe all of these show through in his work and philosophy. To this day Einstein receives popular recognition unprecedented for a scientist.
