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.
