Every document in "The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein"
appears in the language in which it was written, and supplementary
paperback volumes present the English translations if all
non-English materials. For those desiring a supplement to Volume 5,
for instance, this paperback includes translations of
correspondence that give a much richer picture of Einstein in his
twenties and thirties than we ever had. In addition to illuminating
the personal aspects of his life, the letters document his
scientific activity: his concentration for years on the
unfathomable problems of quanta and radiation, his extensive
knowledge of experimental physics, his many fruitful interactions
with experimentalists, and finally his long struggle to generalize
the 1905 theory of relativity to include gravitation and
accelerated frames of reference. This paperback translation does
not include notes or annotation of the documentary volume and is
not intended for use without the original language documentary
edition, which provides the extensive editorial commentary
necessary for a full historical and scientific understanding of the
documents.
