First edition of the scientist's ground breaking work. Octavo, original red cloth, frontispiece of the author and with five diagrams. In near fine condition with the spine gilt bright. Translated by Robert W. Lawson. An exceptional example. 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).

Edition : First Canadian Edition., after the first London., Contemporary full red cloth, title on flat spine, debossed stamped title on the upper board, lacks the dust jacket. , Albert Einstein (1879 ? 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics). 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.
