This volume, first published in 1921, presents a series of portraits of Einstein, thus offering glimpses in the character and private reflections of the man who changed the course of modern science. Intended neither as a biography, nor as a resume of Einsteinian physics, Einstein: The Searcher instead focusses on Einstein's relationship with the scientific project as he himself conceived it, and so is still of contemporary significance for those puzzled by the spirit of scientific enquiry.

Erwin Freundlich (1885-1964) was a renowned astronomer and close working associate of Albert Einstein. In this volume Freundlich provides a concise explanation of the ideas and theories which led to the general theory of relativity. Remarkably lucid and readable considering the difficulty of its subject matter, the text is also notable for containing a preface written by Einstein himself. A fascinating book, it will be of value to anyone with an interest in general relativity and the history of science. This English translation by Henry L. Brose was first published in 1920, and the German original in 1916.

In this classic text first published in German in 1918-this is a translation by HENRY L. BROSE (1890-1965) of the 1921 fourth edition-Weyl considers the role of Euclidean space in physics and the mathematics of Einstein's general theory of relativity, exploring: foundations of affine and metrical geometry conception of n-dimensional geometry tensor algebra the stationary electromagnetic field Riemann's geometry affinely connected manifolds space metrics from the point of view of the Theory of Groups relativistic geometry, kinematics, and optics electrodynamics of moving bodies mechanics of the principle of relativity mass and energy gravitational waves concerning the interconnection of the world as a whole and more.HERMANN KLAUS HUGO WEYL (1885-1955)was a German mathematician who spent most of his life working in Zurich, Switzerland. When the Nazi party began to gain power he fled to a job at the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey where he continued to develop his representation theory. He was one of the most influential mathematicians of the 20th century. He greatly impacted theoretical physics and number theory and was the first to combine general relativity and electromagnetism

This book presents the third edition (1920) of Moritz Schlick's introduction to the special and general theories of relativity, side-by-side with the English translation by Henry L. Brose, published that same year. It will be useful to students of physics and the history of science who wish to approach the literature in German directly, as well as students of German who are curious about the subject.
