Portrait of Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein, one of the most influential physicists of the twentieth century, transformed our understanding of space, time, and energy. His groundbreaking theories of relativity reshaped modern science and continue to underpin countless technological and philosophical developments. Beyond his research, Einstein's writings reveal a thoughtful humanist voice, exploring the relationship between knowledge, creativity, and moral responsibility.

This collection of Einstein's work offers readers a window into both his scientific genius and his reflective nature. Blending clarity with curiosity, he invites us to question assumptions and embrace the wonder of discovery. Ideal for anyone interested in the origins of modern physics or the mind of a true visionary, these pages illuminate how deep thought can change the world.

    Book SynopsisTrade Review"The Travel Diaries is a substantially revised version of the 2012 translation that comes with an illuminating introduction and astonishingly comprehensive end-notes by Ze’ev Rosenkranz. . . . Anyone interested in Einstein’s complex, sometimes self-contradictory, character will be enjoyably provoked by reading his piquant Travel Diaries."---Andrew Robinson, Science"In this travel journal, clearly written for his eyes only, we see [Einstein] at his most human, capable of making boorish, unthinking and even racist remarks. Indeed, it shows that Einstein was first and foremost a brilliant scientist and that though he undoubtedly had an unequalled insight into the laws of physics, his understanding of human nature and of other cultures was far from profound. It seems that even a genius is, in the end, only human."---P. D. Smith, Times Literary Supplement"An eye-opening collection of travel diaries from the legendary scientist and thinker." * Kirkus Reviews *"The handwritten diary shows Einstein in an unfamiliar light, as a tourist—in the real, earthbound sense, not (as in his famous thought experiment) riding a light beam through space-time. Never intended for publication, it records his thoughts and impressions as they occurred, unmediated and unfiltered by considerations of how they would affect his image."---Jerry Adler, Smithsonian"Few know of Einstein’s writings on travel. . . . That shortcoming may now be remedied with the publication of a fascinating narrative of his first main travels outside of Europe."---Michael Curtis, New English Review"[Rosenkranz] has prepared a luxuriously enriched edition with a thoughtful introduction and extensive notes for the wider audience."---David Bodanis, Literary Review

    Book SynopsisDelivered with warmth, clarity, and humor, this brief is the closest Einstein ever came to writing an autobiography. Although a very personal account, it is purely concerned with the development of his ideas, saying little about his private life or about the world-shaking events through which he lived.Starting from little Albert''s early disillusionment with religion and his intense fascination with geometry, the narrative presents Einstein''s epistemological credo then moves through his dissatisfaction with the foundations of Newtonian physics to the development of his own special and general theories of relativity, and his opposition to some of the assumptions of quantum theory.

    Book Synopsis A lively collection of Einstein’s groundbreaking scientific correspondence on modern physics Imagine getting four of the greatest minds of modern physics in a room together to explain and debate the theories and innovations of their day. This is the fascinating experience of reading Letters on Wave Mechanics, the correspondence between H. A. Lorentz, Max Planck, Erwin Schrödinger, and Albert Einstein. These remarkable letters illuminate not only the basis of Schrödinger’s work in wave mechanics, but also how great scientific minds debated and challenged the ever-changing theories of the day and ultimately embraced an elegant solution to the riddles of quantum theory. Their collected correspondence offers insight into both the personalities and professional aspirations that played a part in this theoretical breakthrough. This authorized book features rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the AlberTrade Review “You are the only contemporary physicist, besides Laue, who sees that one cannot get around the assumption of reality—if only one is honest. Most of them simply do not see what sort of risky game they are playing with reality—reality as something independent of what is experimentally established.” —Albert Einstein to Erwin Schrödinger“I am as convinced as ever that the wave representation of matter is an incomplete representation of the state of affairs, no matter how practically useful it has proved itself to be.” —Albert Einstein to Erwin Schrödinger

    Book SynopsisHay científicos que, pese a realizar contribuciones fundamentales, apenas obtienen reconocimiento fuera de su ámbito académico. Otros adquieren fama a través de libros y programas de divulgación científica. Pero muy pocos, como Albert Einstein, han pasado a formar parte de la iconografía popular. Einstein transformó nuestra comprensión del tiempo, el espacio y la gravedad, y fue elegido personaje del siglo XX por la revista Time.La teoría de la relatividad constituye uno de los avances científicos más importantes de la historia. Con ella, Einstein puso de manifiesto que el tiempo no es absoluto, sino que transcurre a velocidades distintas dependiendo del observador y que la gravedad no es una fuerza sino una deformación del espacio tiempo.

    Book SynopsisEstas ?Notas autobiográficas? son prácticamente el único intento realizado por Albert Einstein (1879-1955) para componer algo parecido a un relato de su vida. En ellas plasma un autorretrato científico que describe el nacimiento y desarrollo de las ideas que acabarían por revolucionar la física entera: desde el asombro que en su infancia suscitaron en él la brújula de su padre y la geometría euclidiana, hasta la influencia que ejercieron los trabajos de Maxwell, Mach y Bohr sobre su formulación de la teoría de la relatividad especial y, posteriormente -como paso necesario para incluir la gravitación en este marco teórico-, sobre sus enunciados acerca de la relatividad general. El libro finaliza con la formulación de las ecuaciones generales del campo gravitatorio. Otras obras del autor en esta colección: ?Sobre la teoría de la relatividad especial y general?.
