Description
Book SynopsisIn 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.
Trade Review"Einstein continues to fascinate minds. His letters to various people speak his mind directly to the reader. Even for a non-science student, it makes an interesting read."-- Sarthak Shankar, Organiser "The joy of the Collected Papers, which has now reached the 13th volume and the year 1922, is that it reveals these lesser known facets of this extraordinary man, allowing us to go beyond the famous mask."--Peter Forbes, Guardian "As usual, this volume is of excellent quality with respect to the printing, the contents, and the illustrations."--Zentralblatt MATH "A rich array of assorted documentary evidence, most of which appears here for the first time."--David E. Rowe, Metascience
