Editorial Review Product Description This volume, an abridged version of our cloth, slipcased edition, presents one of the most influential scientific documents of the twentieth century: Albert Einstein's exposition of the theory of relativity. Each of the seventy-two handwritten pages are reproduced and are accompanied 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, a selection of quotes by Einstein, 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. Because the manuscript shows extensive reworking, it reveals Einstein's thought processes more than any other of his handwritten works. Providing a glimpse into one of the greatest minds of the last century, Einstein's 1912 Manuscript is for anyone fascinated by Einstein and the impact of his revolutionary theory. 72 color pages.

The Centenary Tribute to Einstein and his Special Theory of Relavitity
A Unique Book
Einstein's notes
A very nice gift The paper itself is surprisingly readable as the mathematical notation used is still very much current. Reading the paper requires first-year calculus and physics, so this book is definitely not for everybody. The left side of the page contains a translation in English of the facsimile of the original in German, which appears on the right side of the page. ... Read more |

Very good study of the real Einstein
The Real Einstein
Albert: The Romantic Physicist
Another Winner The scientific story advances within the framework of Einstein's personal life.It is rare that an individual can succeed in all areas of endeavor, be they love, work or play.One feels some disappointment with his personal travails and while he may appear cold or disloyal, many times great people sublimate their relationships to their passion. Unlike other intellectuals whose personal lives were a total repudiation of the their professed ideology (Marx was an utter slackard, Hellman and Brecht were serial liars, Fuller switched positions with the wind, scolding the world when they began to ignore his newest mania),Einstein never tried to impose a social scheme on others.He loved quietly as one should and made his mistakes in private, again as one should.All in all, a successful work. ...

Editorial Review Product Description En una visita a Egipto, TomÁs Noronha, criptoanalista y profesor de historia en una universidad portuguesa, se ve abordado por una desconocida. La mujer lleva consigo una copia de un viejo e inÉdito documento y pretende que el historiador portuguÉs le ayude a descifrarlo. El texto tiene un tÍtulo tan sugerente como enigmÁtico: Die Gottesformel —es decir, La fÓrmula de Dios. A partir de ese momento, TomÁs se ve envuelto en una sucesiÓn de aventuras que le llevan a viajar por diferentes paÍses y extraÑos parajes, desde IrÁn hasta el TÍbet. Su investigaciÓn, poco a poco, se dirige a perseguir las huellas de la fÓrmula mÁs importante de todos los tiempos, obra de Albert Einstein; tal vez el mayor descubrimiento que cualquier hombre pueda hacer: la demostraciÓn cientÍfica de la existencia de Dios. |

Editorial Review Product Description Princeton, New Jersey-1951. Just off a small street, an unidentified man stands hidden, carefully monitoring an unfolding scene. A police-escorted motorcade stops at a small, unremarkable house while an old man with a shock of white hair jumps out of the lead car. As he ambles up the walkway, another man around the same age, also sporting wild white hair, descends from the porch and warmly greets him. The observer lurking in the shadows is from the CIA; fellow operatives are also close by, recording the conversation taking place inside the house between newly arrived Israeli prime minister David Ben-Gurion and his host, the world-renowned scientist Albert Einstein. The subject of their conversation: nuclear weapons and the existence of God. Cairo, Egypt—today. World-famous cryptanalyst Thomas Noronha is waiting on the front steps of the Egyptian Museum when an attractive, dark-haired woman approaches and invites him to lunch in the Muslim quarter. Her name is Ariana Pakravan. Over the course of their lunch she hires Thomas to decipher a cryptogram hidden in a secret document that has recently been discovered and is under heavy security in Tehran. Penned by Albert Einstein, the manuscript's title is, simply, Die Gottesformel: The God Formula. Thus begins a story of love and treason, a fast-paced adventure that takes Thomas and Ariana on a breathtaking pursuit from Cairo to Lhasa, from Princeton to Tehran, from Coimbra to Shigatse. Along the way, The Einstein Enigma offers up a mystic fusion of science and religion, a meeting of Einstein and God in an unforgettable spiritual search, and a mind-bending trip to the source of time, the essence of the universe, and the meaning of life.

Editorial Review Product Description "A deeply melancholic and moving tale that forces its readers to grapple with the enigma of the Einstein myth."--The Economist Customer Reviews (3)
Totally smashs the Einstein myth created by the court historians of physics
The myth of Albert Einstein My (small) problem with this book is that the authors expect us to believe that Einstein, a PhD in physics,1) had never heard of Brownian motion prior to his paper on molecules in 1905; and 2) published his paper on relativity in 1905 with no footnotes or attributions because he "was unaware of the need to give credit where it was due" (p. 105). Really. This book did a lot to support my long-held view that Einstein's reputation is vastly overrated.He was a great physicist during the first part of of the 20th century, but there were many others, and he built on the work of many others who went before him and others who worked with him.
Essential Einstein reading.... In this work, the authors take a very personal look at his life between the high school years and the publication of special relativity. Specifically, it focuses on his first marriage, to Mileva Maric'. Much about this relationship was kept intentionally hidden for years by Einstein's secretary Helen Dukas, and scientist Otto Nathan, who became the de facto protectors of the "Einstein image." Since they had known him in the era of his marriage to his cousin Elsa, they understandably sought to minimize and downplay any factors from his younger years that might reflect negatively upon him, and a failed first marriage, with an illegitimate child, could certainly be seen as less than flattering. Highfield and Carter's book draws heavily on the work of the Einstein Papers scholars Stachel, Renn, and Schulmann. Einstein's voluminous correspondence from those years has shed much new light on such questions as the fate of the daughter Liseral, but without providing definitive answers. Considerable time is also spent on the issue of Mileva's role in the development of special relativity - topic that exploded with the force of a bomb in recent years. Einstein has been dead for nearly half a century now, and it is certain now that his private life will be subjected to as intense scrutiny as has special and general relativity. This book, along with Overbye's "Einstein in Love" take a respectful but straightforward approach. Any Einstein admirer or general fan of the history of science should read this book. ... Read more |
79. China and Albert Einstein: The Reception of the Physicist and His Theory in China, 1917-1979 by Danian Hu | |

Editorial Review Product Description China and Albert Einstein is the first extensive study in English or Chinese of China's reception of the celebrated physicist and his theory of relativity. Tracing the influence of Jesuit missionaries in the seventeenth century and Western missionaries and educators in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, as they introduced key concepts of Western physical science and paved the way for Einstein's radical new ideas, Danian Hu shows us that Chinese receptivity was fostered by the trickle of Chinese students sent abroad for study beginning in the mid-nineteenth century and by the openness of the May Fourth Movement (1916-1923). In a series of biographical studies of Chinese physicists, Hu describes the Chinese assimilation of relativity and explains how Chinese physicists offered arguments and theories of their own. Hu's account concludes with the troubling story of the fate of foreign ideas such as Einstein's in the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), when the theory of relativity was denigrated along with Einstein's ideas on democracy and world peace. China and Albert Einstein is an important contribution to Einstein studies and a landmark work in the history of Chinese science. |
