The ultimate collection of Einstein's scientific writings on everything from statistical mechanics to general relativity
The Essential Einstein: Scientific Writings presents Einstein's most important physics papers, spanning his groundbreaking contributions to statistical mechanics, quantum theory, and relativity as well as his ambitious yet ultimately unrealized attempts at a general unified field theory. This incisive collection contains works that profoundly influenced the trajectory of modern science. Each piece serves not only as a reflection of his intellectual rigor and creativity but also as a cornerstone of contemporary scientific thought.
The Essential Einstein is a two-volume compendium offering general readers and specialists alike a comprehensive resource on the pivotal writings of Albert Einstein. Organized chronologically by leading authorities on Einstein and his work, this collection illuminates the evolution of Einstein's scientific and humanistic ideas throughout his life. Each selection is accompanied by explanatory notes that detail the work's background and significance.
Together with The Essential Einstein: Public Writings, this authoritative collection invites a deeper engagement with the intellectual legacy and enduring influence of Albert Einstein.
Biography (Albert Einstein)
Albert Einstein, geboren 1879 in Ulm, stellte die Relativitätstheorie auf, mit der er neue Grundlagen für die moderne Physik schuf. 1921 erhielt er den Nobelpreis für Physik. Als Autor kennt man ihn vor allem durch seine Briefe: berühmt sein Schreiben an Präsident Roosevelt, in dem er - überzeugter Pazifist - sich aus Furcht vor einer deutschen Aggression für die Entwicklung der Atombombe aussprach. Seine Laufbahn als Professor führte ihn über Zürich, Prag und Berlin nach Princeton, wo er 1955 starb.
