Science, "An outstanding biography of Albert Einstein that one finds oneself reading with sheer pleasure."--Physics Today, "A monument to sound scholarship and graceful style.... Accurate, witty, and clear as brook water, it is a work against which future scientific biographies will be measured.... Anyone with an interest in Einstein should give this splendid book a try."--The New York Times Book Review, "Particularly valuable as the first thorough study in one accessible volume of all of Einstein's major contributions to science.... Remarkably clear as well as authoritative."--The New York Review of Books, "A sympathetic but clear-eyed view of his life and work...examined mainly in his own plentiful papers, supplemented by a remarkably wide list of unusual sources.... A fine book."--Scientific American

Synopsis
This account of Albert Einstein's life is based on the author's personal acquaintance and draws on thousands of pages of letters and other papers. It fills many gaps in our knowledge of the scientist's life, dealing with his interest in philosophy, his concern with Jewish destiny, and his opinions on figures from Newton to Freud. The author also examines the state of physics at the turn of the century and how Einstein transformed the field., Since the death of Albert Einstein in 1955 there have been many books and articles written about the man and a number of attempts to "explain" relativity. In this new major work Abraham Pais, himself an eminent physicist who worked alongside Einstein in the post-war years, traces the development of Einstein's entire oeuvre. This is the first book which deal comprehensively and in depth with Einstein's science, both the successes and the failures.Running through the book is a completely non-scientific biography (identified in the table of contents by italic type) including many letters which appear in English for the first time, as well as other information not published before.Throughout the preparation of this book, Pais has had complete access to the Einstein Archives (now in the possession of the Hebrew University) and the invaluable guidance of the late Helen Dukas--formerly Einstein's private secretary., Since the death of Albert Einstein in 1955 there have been many books and articles written about the man and a number of attempts to "explain" relativity.

The seller also messaged me as soon as the purchase went through so communication was great. This was the last book in the series that I needed and to be able to find it in such great condition and at a great cost was unexpected. Highly recommend this seller and will definitely buy from again in the future.MARTIN THE WARRIOR (REDWALL) By Brian Jacques - Hardcover **BRAND NEW** (N° 187149385105)
- t***s (44)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoThe Item itself I rate five stars. The seller, however, I stop at four stars. The seller met two out of three categories I look for when judging my purchasing experience: how well it was packaged, how quickly it was shipped, and how properly it was described; this seller provided prompt shipping and an accurate description, but failed when it came to packaging. The item arrived in a plastic bag without any reinforcement or protection whatsoever and suffered dinged corners on multiple fronts.
