Albert Einstein
The Meaning of Relativity
Hardback. New. The world would be a very different place if it were not for Albert Einstein. Like Newton and Galileo before him this remarkable scientist changed forever mankind's understanding of the universe. In 1921 five years after proclaiming his general theory of relativity Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in recognition of his remarkable achievements. In the same year he travelled to the United States to give four lectures that consolidated his theory and sought to explain its meaning to a new audience. These lectures were published the following year as The Meaning of Relativity which he revised with each new edition until his death. It remains a key work for anyone wishing to discover at first hand the workings of one of the most inspiring minds of the twentieth century. hardcover

ALBERT EINSTEIN
Albert Einstein on the search for greater meaning: "Using such apothecary's methods one cannot reveal any of God's secrets I think." A Swiss chemist's work leaves Einstein cold but Schrödinger "has the scent of a deeper truth."
<p><b>ALBERT EINSTEIN.</b>Autograph Correspondence Card Signed to Michele Besso May 1 1926 Berlin. In German. 1 p. 4¼ x 5⅞ in. </p><b>Complete Translation</b><p><i> 1 May 1926</i></p><p><i>Dear Michele</i></p><p><i> I read that paper</i><i>right away at the time but I don't think that anything more profound lies behind it. There is naturally a rough connection between a decrease in volume and energy and from here one can try to come nearer to the empirical phenomena by introducing further parameters. But this happens in such a way that neither rhyme nor reason can be made of it. It is very reminiscent of Traube. Using such apothecary's methods one cannot reveal any of God's secrets I think. Schrödinger did a couple of wonderful studies on quantum rules Ann d Physik.</i> <i>That has the scent of a deeper truth. Let it be explained to you.</i></p><p><i> I'm coming to Switzerland in July. End of July is LN meeting in Geneva.</i> <i>Then I'm going somewhere in the mountains with Tete. So I'll visit you or else we can meet.</i></p><p><i> Warm regards also to Anna and Vero your</i></p><p><i> Albert</i></p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Early in 1926 Michele Besso sent Einstein an early draft of a paper by Swiss chemist Gottfried Beck on quantum mechanics. Beck had initially submitted the paper to the Swiss scientific journal <i>Helvetica Chemica Acta</i> which rejected it as too speculative. On April 25 1926 Besso wrote to Einstein about Beck's paper. After discussing the details he writes "This surely is an amusing thing; I was surprised that you didn't write me anything about it. Here too reality is once again simpler than the theoretical conceptions would lead one to expect."</p><p>Three months later Einstein wrote to Besso regarding Beck's paper: "it is obviously particularly painful to use the quantum condition together with the equations of motion here because the validity of the latter appears to be irreconcilable with the validity of the former." Einstein was skeptical that Beck's equation "has any reality left within it in the face of quanta. I vigorously doubt it." However Einstein found the construction of the left side of the equation "surely contains a deeper truth." Einstein declared to Besso "I cannot make myself glue two things together like the left- and right-hand sides of this equation that have nothing to do with each other logico-mathematically."</p><p><b>Michele Besso</b> 1873-1955 was born in Zurich Switzerland into an Italian Jewish family. He was a close friend of Albert Einstein when they worked together at the Federal Polytechnic Institute in Zurich and at the patent office in Bern where Einstein helped Besso get a job. Besso met his future wife Anna Winteler through Einstein in June 1897. In 1898 their son Vero was born in Winterthur Switzerland. Einstein referred to Besso as "the best sounding board in Europe" for scientific ideas. Besso died in Geneva just over one month before Einstein died in Princeton New Jersey.</p><p><b>Johann Gottfried Beck</b> 1900-1992 received his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Bern in December 1925. He worked as an assistant to Heinrich Zangger at the Institute for Forensic Medicine at the University of Zurich.</p><p><b>Isidor Traube</b> 1860-1943 was born in Hanover the son of a wealthy German-Jewish merchant. He received his doctorate in organic chemistry in 1882. He founded capillary chemistry and conducted advanced research on liquids helping to define the concepts of surface tension and critical temperature. In 1882 he joined the faculty of Technische Hochshule in Berlin and became a professor of chemistry there in 1900. Unacceptable to National Socialists Traube was barred from his laboratory and he left Germany in 1934. Through the aid of British colleagues he was provided with a laboratory at the University of Edinburgh. During his long career he was a persistent and stubborn controversialist in opposition to various theories.</p><p><b>Erwin Schrödinger</b> 1887-1961 was born in Vienna Austria. He was a commissioned officer in the Austrian fortress artillery during World War I. After the war he advanced through the academic ranks to become a full professor in 1921 in Breslau now Wroclaw Poland. That year he moved to the University of Zurich and in 1927 to the Friedrich Wilhelm University in Berlin. He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1933 and left Germany as he opposed the Nazis. After brief positions in a number of places he settled in Dublin Ireland in 1940 where he remained until retiring in 1955. During his career Schrödinger developed a number of fundamentals of quantum theory including the wave equation. He also published many works in various fields of physics. Although Schrödinger was an atheist he believed his scientific work was an approach to the godhead in a metaphorical sense.</p><p><b>Eduard Einstein</b> 1910-1965 was born in Zürich Switzerland to Albert and Mileva Marić Einstein. In 1914 his parents separated and his mother returned to Zürich with Eduard and older brother Hans Albert who were both deeply affected. Eduard was interested in music art and poetry. Unlike his father Eduard was a good student. He had started to study medicine and psychiatry but in 1930 was diagnosed with schizophrenia. He was first institutionalized in 1932; it is not clear if his treatment particularly electroconvulsive therapy did more good than harm. Albert fondly referred to Eduard as "Tete" for <i>petit</i> and they corresponded regularly but never saw each other after a heart-breaking final visit in 1933. Marić and Eduard's Swiss citizenship undoubtedly saved Eduard from Aktion T4 the Nazi euthanasia program and perhaps both of them from the Holocaust. His mother cared for Eduard until her death in 1948 and Eduard thereafter lived mostly at a psychiatric clinic in Zurich where he died from a stroke in 1965.</p> books

ALBERT EINSTEIN
Einstein Plans Visit to his Son and Compares Science to the Search for Four Leaf Clovers
<p>"<i>I'm working a lot but not managing to come up with the real thing. Science is a difficult profession. Sometimes I'm glad that you chose a practical vocation where one doesn't have to search for four-leaf clovers.</i>"</p> <b>ALBERT EINSTEIN.</b>Autograph Letter Signed "<i>Papa</i>" to his son Hans Albert Einstein March 7 1924 Berlin Germany. In German. 1 p.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Complete Translation</b></p><p> <i>7.III.24</i></p><p><i>Dear Albert</i></p><p> <i>My research projects of the past few years are completely inappropriate for a popular lecture and then I generally dread public appearances of such a kind. That's why I unfortunately have to decline the talk this time too. The Fr 45000 I designated for the down payment of the house purchase; and I invested another Fr 45000 which is supposed to belong to you that is Mama. I hope you'll find a suitable little home.</i></p><p> <i>I'm probably going to be staying in Zurich for a bit on the trip back from Naples; on the trip there only briefly. There's no question of it being official; the main thing for me is to be with you for a while. I don't have much time because I'm supposed to go to Kiel in May.</i></p><p> <i>In any case I'm very happy about seeing you all again soon. I'm working a lot but not managing to come up with the real thing. Science is a difficult profession. Sometimes I'm glad that you chose a practical vocation where one doesn't have to search for four-leaf clovers.</i></p><p> <i>Looking forward to a happy reunion! Best regards to the three of you from your</i></p><p> <i>Papa.</i></p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Einstein's Theory of Relativity published in 1915 describes gravity as a curved geometric property of spacetime. Though <i>E</i>=<i>mc</i>2 captures the theory for which he is most remembered he never won the Nobel Prize in Physics. Rather in 1922 he won for his 1905 explanation of the photoelectric effect.</p><p>In 1914 Albert and Mileva Marić-Einstein separated and she and their sons returned to Zurich. When they divorced in 1919 they agreed that any Nobel Prize money he might win would go to Mileva for the children. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922.</p><p>In May 1924 two months after this letter Marić purchased a building in Zurich and moved into the third floor apartment. In 1930 she purchased two more buildings but when the worldwide economic crisis reached Switzerland many tenants could not afford their rent; she lost the two additional buildings to foreclosure in 1936. Einstein had invested the remaining prize money in America in Marić's name. He lost much of that due to the Great Depression but he ultimately paid Marić more than he received from the prize.</p><p>Einstein also mentions to his nineteen-year-old son his plans to travel to Naples in May. He would attend the fifth International Congress of Philosophy with his theory of relativity scheduled to be "an object of particular discussion." First organized in 1900 the Congress was a global meeting held every few years under the auspices of the International Federation of Philosophical Societies. It was interrupted by both World Wars but reconvened in 1948 and has been held every five years since in locations throughout the world.</p><p>Einstein also planned to go to Kiel Germany to stay and work with Hermann Anschütz-Kaempfe 1872-1931 a German art historian and inventor. Kaempfe pioneered gyro compasses for ships and submarines.</p><p>From the 1920s until his death in 1955 the most elusive clover for which Einstein searched was a unified field theory. Einstein tried to meld together general relativity and electromagnetism. This would describe a single field in which all forces are mediated and the properties of all particles could be deduced.</p><p><b>Albert Einstein</b> 1879-1955 was born in the Kingdom of Wurttemberg in the German Empire to non-observant Ashkenazi Jewish parents. In 1894 the family moved to Italy. Einstein graduated from the Swiss Federal Polytechnic in Zürich in 1900. In 1903 he married Mileva Marić 1875-1948 with whom he had two sons. In 1905 he received a Ph.D. from the University of Zürich. From 1908 to 1932 he taught at a series of universities in Switzerland the Austrian Empire and the German Empire. As a theoretical physicist he published ground-breaking papers as early as 1905 and developed the theory of relativity including the mass–energy equivalence formula <i>E</i>=<i>mc</i>2. Albert and Mileva divorced in 1919. That same year he married Elsa Löwenthal. In 1922 he received the Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of the photoelectric effect. In January 1933 when Adolph Hitler came to power Einstein was visiting the U.S. and remained here In 1939 he signed a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt warning that Germany could develop a nuclear bomb thus inspiring the "Manhattan project." He became a U.S. citizen in 1940. After the war he became known for efforts to further world peace. At the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton N.J. from 1933 until his death in 1955 he worked to develop a unified field theory and to refute the accepted interpretation of quantum physics. Considered the father of modern physics and one of the most prolific intellects of history Einstein published more than 300 scientific papers and over 150 non-scientific works.</p><p><b>Hans Albert Einstein</b> 1904-1973 was born in Bern Switzerland to Albert Einstein and Mileva Marić. Hans followed both parents in studying at ETH the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich graduating with a degree in civil engineering in 1926. In 1927 he married Frieda Knecht and they had four children two of whom died very young. In 1936 Hans earned a doctor of technical science degree. At his father's advice he left Switzerland in 1938 to escape the Nazi threat. He settled in Greenville South Carolina and worked for the U.S. Department of Agriculture studying sediment transport. In 1943 he transferred to the California Institute of Technology and in 1947 he accepted a position teaching hydraulic engineering at the University of California Berkeley. He became a full professor and eventually professor emeritus winning several research awards and fellowships.</p> books

ALBERT EINSTEIN
The Building Blocks of Albert EinsteinÂ’s Creative Mind
<p><i><b>A unique and important artifact of his childhood.</b></i></p> <b>ALBERT EINSTEIN.</b>Ephemera. Set of Anker-Steinbaukasten children's building blocks by F. Ad. Richter & Cie. Rudolstadt Germany c.1880s. Approximately 160 composite quartz sand chalk and linseed oil blocks in red limestone and slate gray in various sizes and shapes together with three or more sets of building plans all contained in two wooden boxes with printed Anker-Steinbaukasten labels.<p>Einstein spent his childhood building "complicated structures" with these Anker-Steinbaukasten blocks. Accepting his later theory that "Imagination is more important than knowledge" the toys that encouraged his imagination became building blocks for the most important scientific theories of the last millennium.</p><p>His sister Maja Winteler-Einstein describing his childhood recalled that "The games he played … were very characteristic of Albert's capacities. These were mostly puzzles fretsaw work the erection of complicated structures with the well-known Anker building blocks and above all the construction of multi-storied card castles with which he filled his leisure." "Beitrag für sein Lebensbild" in <i>The collected papers of Albert Einstein</i>. ed. John Stachel. Volume 1: The early years. 1879-1902. Princeton University Press 1987 p.lix. Translated from German.</p><p>Based on the work of German educator Friedrich Froebel who created the concept of kindergarten these composite stone blocks were a popular toy of the 1880s and 1890s. The blocks were designed to help develop childrens' tactile senses and manual dexterity and also to stimulate imagination creativity and three-dimensional perception. Fellow scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer as well as architects Frank Lloyd Wright and Walter Gropius are among the geniuses who are known to have played with Anker blocks. </p><p><b>Provenance</b></p><p>The set had passed by direct descent from Albert Einstein to the consignor from whom we acquired the blocks at Christie's London on July 13 2016. </p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>A few blocks chipped and worn with original instructions and boxes worn soiled and defective.</p><p><b>Albert Einstein </b>1879-1955 was a German-Swiss born theoretical physicist internationally recognized as one of the greatest physicists of all time. He enunciated the general theory of Relativity with law explaining the relationship between the speed of light and its consequence the equivalence of mass and energy E=MC2. For his work in theoretical physics—largely for his 1905 paper on photons and photo-electricity—Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics announced in November 1922 retroactive for 1921. Working on a unified field theory he then attempted to explain gravitation and electromagnetism within one set of laws. With the expulsion of Jewish scholars from Germany after Hitler's rise to power Einstein joined the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton New Jersey 1933 which became the most celebrated research center in the world. In 1939 he signed a letter written to President Franklin Roosevelt warning him of the possibility of Germany developing a nuclear bomb. He urged the U.S. to begin uranium research thus beginning the top secret "Manhattan Project." Later at Princeton he tried to develop a unified field theory and to refute the accepted interpretation of quantum physics both unsuccessfully. Einstein received U.S. citizenship in 1940. <br /></p> books

Alberto Guglielmi Manzoni
Pace e pericolo atomico. Le lettere tra Albert Schweitzer e Albert Einstein
Praticamente coetanei - uno medico e teologo, l'altro scienziato e filosofo, il primo luterano, il secondo ebreo - Albert Schweitzer, premio Nobel per la Pace nel 1952, e Albert Einstein, premio Nobel per la Fisica nel 1921, si incontrarono solo due volte e si scambiarono una serie di lettere, tutte tra il 1948 e il 1955. Nondimeno entrambi misero in guardia i contemporanei contro i pericoli di un progresso tecnico-scientifico acefalo, facendo pressioni contro i test e le sperimentazioni della bomba atomica - la cui costruzione, in un primo tempo, Einstein aveva appoggiato nel timore che il regime nazista se ne dotasse per primo - e battendosi per il disarmo nucleare e la pace. Autori: Alberto Guglielmi Manzoni.

ALESSANDRO CELLETTI ETTORE PEROZZI
ORDINE E CAOS NEL SISTEMA SOLARE
UTET 2007 XI-297 PP. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO: LIEVI SEGNI DEL TEMPO, VOLUME PERFETTO E INTONSO. La meccanica celeste ha sempre accompagnato lo sviluppo della civiltà sul nostro pianeta. Dalle prime osservazioni astronomiche degli antichi Caldei, attraverso i lavori di Henri Poincaré la meccanica celeste è tornata in prima linea. Infatti, i recenti progressi tecnologici nel campo dell'astronomia osservativa hanno notevolmente aumentato il numero di oggetti celesti scoperti dall'uomo: migliaia di asteroidi, centinaia di comete, decine di satelliti naturali e anelli planetari, una nuova popolazione di corpi celesti oltre l'orbita di Nettuno, nonché innumerevoli sistemi planetari extra-solari attorno ad altre stelle. A ciò si aggiunga che l'uomo ha ormai un programma consolidato di esplorazione interplanetaria e nelle vicinanze della Terra: una nube di satelliti artificiali e di detriti spaziali circonda il nostro pianeta. Sulla base di tali recenti sviluppi scientifici, la moderna meccanica celeste ha assunto un ruolo fortemente interdisciplinare, coinvolgendo argomenti quali la stabilità, le risonanze e il caos. L'obiettivo del libro, pubblicato in edizione inglese nel 2007 dalla casa editrice Praxis-Springer, è di presentare la moderna meccanica celeste come una disciplina di facile comprensione per il lettore non specialista e allo stesso tempo di stimolare un pubblico più specializzato, mostrando le possibili connessioni tra i diversi affascinanti campi di studio. Il volume è introdotto dalla prefazione di Margherita Hack.
