In 1905, Einstein's Annus Mirabilis, Albert Einstein made three
discoveries concerning the foundations of nature which form the
basis of his fame as a physicist. These revolutionary papers on the
light-quantum hypothesis, Brownian motion, and special relativity,
were published in the journal "Annalen der Physik." All three are
now established as pillars of modern science and its applications
in technology and are an indispensable part of the modern world.
This volume presents some of the most significant original papers
which Albert Einstein ever wrote. It includes the facsimiles of the
three revolutionary papers of 1905. In addition it contains papers
which show the consequences of the ground-breaking ideas of these
seminal papers from E=mc? to the quantum theory of specific heats.
It also features Einstein's first exposition of his new general
theory of relativity.
Introducing the original German papers the science historians
J?rgen Renn (MPI for the History of Science, Berlin), David C.
Cassidy (Hofstra University, Hempstead), Michel Janssen (University
of Minnesota), and Robert Rynasiewicz (John Hopkins University)
complement and comment the collection with topical articles.
