Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This volume offers a selection of the best contributions by Russianscholars--historians and philosophers of science--to the EinsteinStudies industry, broadly construed. Most of the papers included herewere first published in Russian in the 'Einshteinovskiy Sbornik'series (Einstein Studies), the first of its kind, and initiated in1966 by Nobel Prize winner Igor Tamm. From 1966-1990, fourteen volumesof the 'Sbornik' were published by Nauka, the chief academic publisherin the former Soviet Union.The book explores such topics as the historical and foundationalissues in general relativity and relativistic cosmology, Einstein'scontributions to quantum theory of radiation, and the rise of Dirac'squantum electrodynamics. The volume also includes a detaileddescription of the physics colloquium Einstein established andcoordinated in 1912-1914 in Zurich.The contributors draw extensively on documentation previouslyunavailable to most scholars. Thus the materials from various Russianarchives shed new light on the famous exchange (regarding the firstevolutionary cosmological models) between Einstein and AleksandrFriedmann in the early 1920s and on the role of Boris Podolsky andVladimir Fock in the emergence of quantum electrodynamics. The littleknown correspondence between Einstein and a famous German pilot PaulEhrhardt suggests that, during World War I, Einstein was involved withaero- and hydrodynamics and thought about ways of improving airfoildesign. Other articles discuss new approaches to important questionsin the foundations of general relativity and cosmology.Historians, philosophers, and sociologists of science should beprepared to find much new and unexpected material in this engagingvolume presenting the best of the recent Russian scholarship in thefield. The book will be accessible to the general reader as well.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 336 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Despite the rapidly expanding ambit of physical research and the continual appearance of new branches of physics, the main thrust in its development was and is the attempt at a theoretical synthesis of the entire body of physical knowledge. The main triumphs in physical science were, as a rule, associ ated with the various phases of this synthesis. The most radical expression of this tendency is the program of construction of a unified physical theory. After Maxwellian electrodynamics had unified the phenomena of electricity, magnetism, and optics in a single theoretical scheme on the basis of the con cept of the electromagnetic field, the hope arose that the field concept would become the precise foundation of a new unified theory of the physical world. The limitations of an electromagnetic-field conception of physics, however, already had become clear in the first decade of the 20th century. The concept of a classical field was developed significantly in the general theory of relativity, which arose in the elaboration of a relativistic theory of gravitation. It was found that the gravitational field possesses, in addition to the properties inherent in the electromagnetic field, the important feature that it expresses the metric structure of the space-time continuum. This resulted in the following generalization of the program of a field synthesis of physics: The unified field representing gravitation and electromagnetism must also describe the geometry of space-time.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 356 pp. Englisch.
