First Edition. 19,5 cm, x + 319 p. Original blue cloth binding. 'The book is a simple chat between you and us. You may find it boring or interesting, dull or exciting, but our aim will be accomplished if these pages give you some idea of the eternal struggle of the inventive human mind for a fuller understanding of the laws governing physical phenomena.' (The authors, from the preface). Infeld, despite his gifts as a physicist, despite the joint work on the equation of motion, and despite Einstein's own efforts on his behalf, was unable to find a position in America. To help him Einstein collaborated with him on a book, «The evolution of physics», that was published in 1938. It described for the layman the majestic development of physical science as seen by the man who had revolutionized scientific thought while maintaining a striking continuity with the broad sweep of the past. The book was an immediate success - was translated into several languages at once - and with its success Einstein said to Infeld: 'You are a made man'. Undoubtedly the book played no small part in Infeld's obtaining a position in Canada. (B. Hoffmann, Einstein p. 233). Weil 201; Schilpp-Shields 279; Alicke 278/159.

Christie's The History of Quantum Physics and the Theory of Relativity: The Harvey Plotnick Library, 101. A scientific history for a casual reader, intended to explain the history of the evolution of famous theories in physics. Einstein and Infeld begin with the "Mechanical View" of the physical universe, the work done by Galileo and Newton, and the subsequent challenges to their work by modern physicists. The authors devote a section to the decline of the mechanical view, and proceed to explain their work on Relativity and Quanta. Einstein was famous for writing books intended to educate the public on his work and on the history of science. This volume is an example of his noble goal in making physics accessible to all readers. A Very Good+ book with a name and date of 1938 on the free front endpaper and toning to the endpapers and pastedowns; dust jacket is Good or better with notable edge wear, resulting in minor loss to the spine panel and folds.

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.

In specific regards to this edition, in addition to being the First English translation of Einstein's paradigm shifting work, it includes new text which was written by Einstein specifically for this edition at the request of the translator (Appendix III: "The Experimental Confirmation of the General Theory of Relativity"). The fourth appendix, "The Structure of Space according to the General Theory of Relativity," didn't appear in an English edition until the 14th edition (1946).

First edition of this classic account of Born's analysis and interpretation of Einstein's theory of relativity. Octavo, original cloth, frontispiece of Einstein. Signed by Max Born on the verso of the frontispiece. Translated by Henry L. Brose. Very good in a very good dust jacket. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. First editions are uncommon, signed examples rare. Einstein's Theory of Relativity is a book in which one great mind explains the work of another great mind in terms comprehensible to the layman is a significant achievement. This is such a book. Max Born was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1954 and was one of the world's great physicists: in this work he analyzes and interprets the theory of Einsteinian relativity. The result is undoubtedly the most lucid and insightful of all the books that have been written to explain the revolutionary theory that marked the end of the classical and the beginning of the modern era of physics. Born follows a quasi-historical method of presentation. The book begins with a review of the classical physics, covering such topics as origins of space and time measurements, geometric axioms, Ptolemaic and Copernican astronomy, concepts of equilibrium and force, laws of motion, inertia, mass, momentum and energy, Newtonian world system (absolute space and absolute time, gravitation, celestial mechanics, centrifugal forces and absolute space), laws of optics (the corpuscular and undulatory theories, speed of light, wave theory, Doppler effect, convection of light by matter), electrodynamics (including magnetic induction, electromagnetic theory of light, electromagnetic ether, electromagnetic laws of moving bodies, electromagnetic mass, and the contraction hypothesis). Born then takes up his exposition of Einstein's special and general theories of relativity, discussing the concept of simultaneity, kinematics, Einstein's mechanics and dynamics, relativity of arbitrary motions, the principle of equivalence, the geometry of curved surfaces, and the space-time continuum, among other topics. Born then points out some predictions of the theory of relativity and its implications for cosmology, and indicates what is being sought in the unified field theory. This work steers a middle course between vague popularizations and complex scientific presentations. This is a careful discussion of principles stated in thoroughly acceptable scientific form, yet in a manner that makes it possible for the reader who has no scientific training to understand it. Only high school algebra has been used in explaining the nature of classical physics and relativity, and simple experiments and diagrams are used to illustrate each step. The layman and the beginning student in physics will find this an immensely valuable and usable introduction to relativity.
