Essays in Science

<div>A provocative collection of letters to his longtime friend and translator that spans Einstein&rsquo;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&rsquo;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&mdash;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&mdash;large and small&mdash;that took place over a half century and in the remarkable life of the world&rsquo;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 ebook 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. </div>

The Albert Einstein Collection Volume One

<div>From revealing, personal letters to brilliant essays on the nature of science, these three volumes demonstrate the breadth of Einstein&rsquo;s thought. The man who became famous for conceiving of the equation E=mc2 kept his mind sharp through stimulating correspondence and applied his intellectual acuity to a number of important scientific issues. The second volume of the Albert Einstein Collection offers a fascinating window into how he developed his ideas. Essays in Science: In these sixteen essays, written at the height of his intellectual powers, Einstein sets out his views on scientific knowledge, its relationship to human experience, and the underlying principles of any scientific pursuit. He discusses his own work in theoretical physics and its basis in field theory, as well as the many achievements of other scientific thinkers&mdash;including Johannes Kepler, Isaac Newton, James Clerk Maxwell, Max Planck, Niels Bohr, and others. Letters to Solovine: This collection of personal letters from Einstein to his longtime friend and translator Maurice Solovine offers a rare glimpse into the evolution of his thought, as well as a revealing portrait of the man himself. Spanning Einstein&rsquo;s career and ranging from philosophical discussion to personal gossip, these letters are presented in English translation alongside the German text, with facsimiles of the original letters also included. Letters on Wave Mechanics: In this stirring collection of correspondence, four of the twentieth century&rsquo;s greatest minds&mdash;H. A. Lorentz, Max Planck, Erwin Schr&ouml;dinger, and Albert Einstein&mdash;discuss, debate, and refine Schr&ouml;dinger&rsquo;s then-nascent theory of wave mechanics. As the physicist Karl Przibram states in his foreword to this edition, &ldquo;little needs to be added to the letters; they speak for themselves. Apart from their essential content, they reveal something of the personalities of the four men of genius.&rdquo; </div>

The Albert Einstein Collection Volume Two

<div>These three works by Nobel Prize&ndash;winning physicists offer an enlightening window into the scientific minds that changed the twentieth century. With their discoveries and formulations, Albert Einstein, Max Planck, and Werner Heisenberg ushered the world into the Nuclear Age. As colleagues, they often corresponded, sharing insights and championing each other&rsquo;s work. In the three volumes collected here, they discuss their thoughts about life, science, politics, and how they approached their revolutionary work. Out of My Later Years by Albert Einstein: Perhaps the most celebrated scientist of the twentieth century, Albert Einstein was also a philosopher and outspoken humanitarian. Collected here are some of his most insightful essays, articles, letters, and speeches written between 1934 and 1950. Accessible and fascinating, these works reflect the broad sweep of Einstein&rsquo;s intellectual concerns, from scientific inquiry to Jewish identity; and from global politics to the great minds he knew and admired. Scientific Autobiography by Max Planck: The founder of quantum theory, Max Planck revolutionized our understanding of atomic and subatomic behavior. Born in Germany in 1858, he lived a long and eventful life at the center of both scientific advancement and global events. From the childhood epiphany that inspired him to pursue a life in science, to the great discoveries he made amidst terrifying political turmoil, Planck tells his story in this illuminating autobiography. Nuclear Physics by W. Heisenberg: Werner Heisenberg is famous for developing the uncertainty principle, which bears his name, and for his pioneering work in quantum mechanics. In Nuclear Physics, he offers an accessible introduction to the subject based on his own lectures. Beginning with a short history of atomic physics, he delves into the nature of nuclear forces and reactions, the tools of nuclear physics, and its world-changing technical and practical applications. </div>

Colleagues in Genius

<div>With an introduction by Albert Einstein: The collected letters of the Renaissance astronomer who discovered the laws of planetary motion. Astronomer and mathematician Johannes Kepler made major contributions to the Scientific Revolution of the seventeenth century. While his achievements are well-documented elsewhere, this volume of his personal correspondence offers a rare window into the life of a man who pursued knowledge through a dangerous and turbulent period of history. Spanning more than thirty years, from 1596 to the end of his life, Kepler&rsquo;s letters reveal the internal conflicts of a devout Protestant who nevertheless opposed many pronouncements of the Church, an eminent man of science who was also swayed by astrology, and a contemporary of Galileo who served three succeeding Holy Roman Emperors.</div>
