The Authorized Albert Einstein Archives Edition: An homage to the
men and women of science, and an exposition of Einstein's place in
scientific history. In this fascinating collection of articles and
speeches, Albert Einstein reflects not only on the scientific
method at work in his own theoretical discoveries, but also
eloquently expresses a great appreciation for his scientific
contemporaries and forefathers, including Johannes Kepler, Isaac
Newton, James Clerk Maxwell, Max Planck, and Niels Bohr. While
Einstein is renowned as one of the foremost innovators of modern
science, his discoveries uniquely his own, through his own words it
becomes clear that he viewed himself as only the most recent in a
long line of scientists driven to create new ways of understanding
the world and to prove their scientific theories. Einstein's
thoughtful examinations explain the "how" of scientific innovations
both in his own theoretical work and in the scientific method
established by those who came before him. This authorized book
features a new introduction by Neil Berger, PhD, and an illustrated
biography of Albert Einstein, which includes rare photos and
never-before-seen documents from the Albert Einstein Archives at
the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
A provocative collection of letters to his longtime friend and
translator that spans Einstein’s career and reveals the inner
thoughts and daily life of a transformative genius From their early
days as tutor and scholar discussing philosophy over Spartan
dinners to their work together to publish Einstein’s books in
Europe, in Maurice Solovine, Albert Einstein found both an engaged
mind and a loyal friend. While Einstein frequently shared his
observations on science, politics, philosophy, and religion in his
correspondence with Solovine, he was just as likely to express his
feelings about everyday life—his health and the effects of aging
and his experiences in the various places where he settled and
visited in his long career. The letters are both funny and frank,
and taken together, reflect the changes—large and small—that
took place over a half century and in the remarkable life of the
world’s foremost scientist. Published in English alongside the
German text and accompanied by facsimile copies of the original
letters, the collected Letters to Solovine offers scholar and
interested reader alike unprecedented access to the personal life
of Albert Einstein. This authorized book features a new
introduction by Neil Berger, PhD, and an illustrated biography of
Albert Einstein, which includes rare photos and never-before-seen
documents from the Albert Einstein Archives at the Hebrew
University of Jerusalem.
A fascinating collection of Einstein's observations about life,
religion, nationalism, and a host of personal topics that engaged
the genius's intellect In the aftermath of the First World War,
Einstein writes about his hopes for the League of Nations, his
feelings as a German citizen about the growing anti-Semitism and
nationalism of his country, and his myriad opinions about the
current affairs of his day. In addition to these political
perspectives, The World As I See It reveals the idealistic,
spiritual, and witty side of this great intellectual as he
approaches topics including "Good and Evil," "Religion and
Science," "Active Pacifism," "Christianity and Judaism," and
"Minorities." Including letters, speeches, articles, and essays
written before 1935, this collection offers a complete portrait of
Einstein as a humanitarian and as a human being trying to make
sense of the changing world around him. This authorized
Philosophical Library book features a new introduction by Neil
Berger, PhD, and an illustrated biography of Albert Einstein, which
includes rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the
Albert Einstein Archives at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
