First edition of the scientist's ground breaking work. Octavo, original red cloth, frontispiece of the author and with five diagrams. Near fine in the rare original dust jacket with loss of section at rear. Translated by Robert W. Lawson. Scarce in the original dust jacket. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box by the Harcourt Bindery. It can hardly be disputed that the theories put forth in this book are among the most important in the history of modern science. "The imprint of Einstein's work on the different areas of physical science is so large and varied," writes Gerald Holton in a recent assessment, "that a scientist who tries to trace it would be hard put to know where to start" (Simmons, The Scientific 100).

His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. He is best known to the general public for his mass?energy equivalence formula which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation". He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect", a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory., Size : Octavo (8vo.), Illustrated with five diagrams and numerous in text mathematical equations. A foundation work in physics and astronomy. A near fine example, text and illustrations clean and crisp.

It includes an original preface by Einstein himself: "The appearance of my book in the language of our fathers fills me with special joy. It is a sign of the transformation which has taken place in our language so that its use is no longer restricted to expressing the affairs of our people to our people, but that it is now able to embrace everything that interests human beings. It constitutes an important factor in our striving towards cultural independence". - A single copy sold at auction. - Some stains and chips to covers and spine professionally restored.
