Presents Albert Einstein's writings from his arrival in Berlin in the spring of 1914 to take up his new position at the Prussian Academy of Sciences through the end of 1917. This book contains papers describing Einstein's experimental investigation, a study of Ampere's molecular currents, which he carried out with the Dutch physicist W J de Haas.
Presents material on the young Einstein. In addition to Einstein's known correspondence and other writings from this period, this volume includes the relevant portions of third-party letters and other contemporary documents that provide additional information.
Every document in "The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein" appears in the language in which it was written. This title presents the English translations of those non-English materials.
Presents Einstein's writings for the two-year period starting in October 1909. This volume concludes with the report that Einstein, by then a full professor at the German-language university in Prague, gave to the original Solvay Congress, the first international meeting devoted to the problems of radiation and the quantum theory.
Presents Einstein's writings from the final period of his work in Switzerland. The material in this volume documents Einstein's search for a relativistic theory of gravitation, a search that ended in Berlin in the fall of 1915 with the completion of the general theory of relativity.
Documents Albert Einstein's scientific activity: his concentration for years on the unfathomable problems of quanta and radiation, his knowledge of experimental physics, his many fruitful interactions with experimentalists, and his struggle to generalize the 1905 theory of relativity to include gravitation and accelerated frames of reference.
A translation of selected non-English texts included in Volume 16 is available in paperback. Since this supplementary paperback includes only select portions of Volume 16, it is not recommended for purchase without the main volume. Every document in The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein appears in the language in which it was written, and this supplementary paperback volume presents the English translations of select portions of non-English materials in Volume 16. This translation does not include notes or annotations 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.
Set in the turbulent post-World War I period, this volume finds Einstein awaiting news of the 1919 British eclipse expedition to test the general relativistic prediction of the deflection of starlight by the sun. It reveals facets of Einstein as he constructively participated in German and European scientific, academic, and cultural life.

Contains the scientific work Einstein published during the first decade of his career, and includes some of the most significant achievements of twentieth-century physics. This work includes the famous paper that set forth the special theory of relativity, solving some long-standing difficulties.

In the spring of 1919, two British solar eclipse expeditions confirmed the correctness of general relativity theory and propelled Albert Einstein to instant celebrity. This work include a collection of papers of Einstien.
Opens in spring 1914 when Einstein takes up a research professorship at the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin and closes with the collapse of the German Empire four and one-half years later. The letters collected here touch on various aspects of Einstein's activities and shed light on his inner life.

Documents Albert Einstein's visible public persona in his correspondence, honors and prizes, lectures and travels, articles, and the many solicitations asking him to join public initiatives.
Presents letters written by Einstein's sons, the adolescent Hans Albert and little Eduard, and numerous letters written by Einstein to his cousin and future second wife Elsa Einstein. Combined with correspondence with his close friend Heinrich Zangger, this supplementary correspondence provides details of Einstein's private life.

In April 1922, we find Einstein lecturing in Paris, engaged in reestablishing ties among scientists in former enemy nations. This title recounts in poetic prose the hectic schedule on land, the contemplative rest at sea, and his musings on science, philosophy, and art during his first encounter with the Far East, Palestine, and Spain.

This volume covers one of the most thrilling two-year periods in twentieth-century physics, as matrix mechanicsΓÇödeveloped chiefly by W. Heisenberg, M. Born, and P. JordanΓÇöand wave mechanicsΓÇödeveloped by E. Schr├╢dingerΓÇösupplanted the earlier quantum theory. The almost one hundred writings by Einstein, of which a third have never been published, and the more than thirteen hundred letters show EinsteinΓÇÖs immense productivity and hectic pace of life.Einstein quickly grasps the conceptual peculiarities involved in the new quantum mechanics, such as the difference between Schr├╢dingerΓÇÖs wave function and a field defined in spacetime, or the emerging statistical interpretation of both matrix and wave mechanics. Inspired by correspondence with G. Y. Rainich, he investigates with Jakob Grommer the problem of motion in general relativity, hoping for a hint at a new avenue to unified field theory.Einstein falls victim to scientific fraud when, in a collaboration with E. Rupp, he becomes convinced that the latterΓÇÖs experiments, aimed at deciding whether excited atoms emit light instantaneously (in quanta) or in a finite time (in waves), confirm a wave-theoretic explanation.While it was known that the teenage Einstein had been romantically involved with Marie Winteler in 1895, newly discovered documents reveal that his love for Marie was rekindled in 1909ΓÇô10 while he was still married to Mileva Mari─ç.The 1925 Locarno Treaties renew EinsteinΓÇÖs optimism in European reconciliation. He backs the ΓÇ£International manifesto against compulsory military serviceΓÇ¥ and continues his participation in the League of NationsΓÇÖ International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation. He remains intensely committed to the shaping of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, although his enthusiasm for this cause is sorely tested.
