‎First printing of these four landmark paper in which Friedman ""introduced into cosmology two concepts of revolutionary importance, the age og the world and the creation of the world"" (Kragh, Cosmology and Controversy). ""In his paper of 1922, Friedmann offered a complete analysis of the solutions of Einstein's cosmological field equations that went beyond the earlier solutions of Einstein and de Sitter as it also included nonstatic solutions. Friedmann did so clearly and explicitly: ""The purpose of this note,"" he wrote, ""is firstly to show that the cylindrical [Einstein]and spherical [de Sitter] worlds are special cases of more general assumptions, and secondly to demonstrate the possibility of a world in which the curvature of space is independent of the three spatial coordinates but does on time"".(Ibid.).In 'Über die Krümmung des Raumes' Friedman derived the non-stationary solutions to Einstein's field equations. Einstein quickly responded in a short comment ('Bemerkung'), in which he expressed his suspicion of such a model of the Universe and apparently pointed out an error in Friedman's calculations. However, Friedman now wrote a letter to Einstein, in which he enclosed his full calculations. Shortly after this, Einstein submitted a short notice (Notiz), in which he admitted that he himself had performed a calculation error and that Friedman's solutions, which shed new light on the matter, were valid. Friedman's expanding universe model was corroborated by Edwin Hubble's red-shift observations in 1929. In 'Über die Möglichkeit einer Welt mit konstanter negativer Krümmung des Raumes' Friedman derived the Friedman-equations and demonstrated that he had command of all three Friedman-models describing positive, zero and negative curvature respectively, nearly a decade before the independent discoveries of the same models by Lemaître, Robertson, and Walker. ""Friedmann made a valuable contribution to Einstein's general theory of relativity. As always, his interest was not limited simply to familiarizing himself with this new field of science but led to his own remarkable investigations. Friedmann's work on the theory of relativity dealt with one of its most difficult questions, the cosmological problem. In his paper ""Über die Krümmung des Raumes"" (1922), he outlined the fundamental ideas of his cosmology: the supposition concerning the homogeneity of the distribution of matter in space and the consequent homogence of ""world"" time for which, at any moment in time, the metrics of space will be identical at all points and in all directions. This theory is especially important because it leads to a sufficiently correct explanation of the fundamental phenomenon known as the ""red shift."" This solution of the Einstein field equations, obtained from the above propositions, is the model for any homogeneous and isotropic cosmological theory. It is interesting to note that Einstein thought that the cosmological solution to the equations of a field had to be static and had to lead to a closed model of the universe. Friedmann discarded both conditions and arrived at an independent solution. Einstein welcomed Friedmann's results because they showed the dispensability of the ad hoc cosmological term Einstein had been forced to introduce into the basic field equation of general relativity"".

‎Portrait of Albert Einstein‎

‎<p>In this portrait Sternberger shows Einstein dressed informally. Einstein was keenly aware of his public image and often attempted to show a cheerful visage. The common backgrounds of the two men helped the photographer to put Einstein in a relaxed state and to capture him in a more vulnerable pose.</p><p>Marcel Sternberger and Albert Einstein had known each other in Europe long before the two met again in Princeton New Jersey for this session. Before the men left Europe Einstein had furnished the preface to a book written by Sternberger.</p><p>After a warm welcome and lemonade the men settled in for the sitting. They discussed various topics including World War II and the state of American education. Although some photographs from the session show Einstein with a telltale twinkle in his eye here the great scientist appears fatigued. The seriousness of their conversation seems to have worn him down.</p><p>Still the conversation had its moments of levity. At one moment Sternberger asked Einstein to remove his suspenders. Einstein replied "I am going to lose my trousers! I can't." Einstein instead put on one of his trademark sweatshirts.</p><p>Here modern science's greatest mind is forever immortalized as only Sternberger could. He has found a depth of personality exceeding photographs produced without regard to the sitter's inner psychological state.</p><br /><p>Gelatin silver print 16 x 20 in. Archivally framed.

‎Original 5X7 Silver Gelatin Advertising Photograph of Albert Einstein FROM THE STUDIO OF LOTTE JACOBI‎

‎New Jersey: Jacobi Studio 1938. Very Good. 5 X 7 Inches. SCARCE original headshot of Albert Einstein by Lotte Jacobi circa 1938. This iconic photograph of Einstein features him wearing his leather coat inside his Princeton New Jersey home. Scarce cropped photograph of Einstein's face with Jacobi Studio text in lower border. "Albert Einstein: A Photographic Study By Lotte Jacobi - Jacobi Studio 46 West 52nd Street New York 19 NY."<br /> <br /> Lotte Jacobi took this photograph of the theoretical physicist Albert Einstein at his home in Princeton New Jersey at the time he was a professor at the university. Both Jewish the two had been family friends a decade earlier in Germany. Einstein had renounced his German citizenship for political reasons after leaving Nazi Germany in 1933 and Jacobi had been forced to emigrate to the United States from Nazi Germany after she too renounced her German citizenship in 1935. Jacobi and Einstein collaborated on the crafting of his media image in a series of late-1930s Princeton portraits commissioned by Life magazine. Einstein agreed to sit for the photo session only if Lotte Jacobi was assigned to photograph him. The image of Einstein in a leather jacket is unusual in that it catches him in a less-guarded less-constructed moment than the others and offers the viewer a glimpse of the world-famous theoretical physicist as an individual rather than as a stereotyped professor.<br /> <br /> Rubbing and light wear at corners.

Minor wear. Near fine in like dustwrapper. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. "In 2005 astronomers and cosmologists celebrated - in style - the 100th anniversary of their annus mirabilis: 1905. This was the year in which Albert Einstein wrote a set of scientific papers - including one containing the equation E=mc2 that changed our understanding of the universe - and which became the cornerstones of quantum mechanics and general relativity: the twin intellectual pinnacles of the 20th century. According to Isaacson we should regard Einstein not as an august scientific priest but 'as a rebel with reverence for the harmony of nature' a scientist who rated imagination far higher than knowledge and an individual whose motto at least in his early years was 'Long live impudence! It is my guardian angel.' Having displayed 'a sassy attitude' at the Zurich Polytechnic where he studied physics Einstein was his year's only graduate not to be offered a job. He was even rejected by the Swiss army for having flat feet and varicose veins. In the end he made do with the Swiss patent office. And a good thing too says Isaacson. Einstein did his day's work in a couple of hours and then sat back in his 'worldly cloister'.in order to create some of the most beautiful challenging ideas of modern science. 'Physics was to be upended and Einstein was poised to be the one to do it' says Isaacson. It's one of the greatest stories of modern science and a riveting read." - Robin McKie Simon & Schuster Inc., New York NY, 2007. hardcover‎
