The occasion was the Centenary Year of Thomson's birth and Einstein wrote 'Zum hundertjährigen Gedenktag von Lord Kelvins Geburt 26. Juni 1824'. In the mid-nineteenth century Thomson's ideas on thermodynamics established the base line for future generations of scientists. Likewise in 1905 Einstein changed the world of physics forever with the publication of his radical new ideas on special relativity."We may learn from Einstein the philosopher of his interest in the founding scientists of the nineteenth century such as Kelvin and Maxwell of science being not only about instrumentation mathematics and formulae but also about sharing in the aspirations and achievements of other scientists past or present." Trainer Einstein's Centenary Tribute The volume contain several other papers by influential contemporary phycisians. Weil 140. hardcover

Whole issue: pp. 617-816 3 plates. First edition of Einstein's sequel and complement to his 1907 paper on Planck's theory of radiation and heat translated as Elementary Observations on Thermal Molecular Motion in Solids. Einstein tries to improve upon his model of specific heats after realizing the model was inocrrect at very low temperatures. The correct answer would come a year later with the Debye model. "Elementary observations on thermal molecular motion in solids. . . Here Einstein continues the work he had begun in 1907 on the specific heat of solids where the heat agitation of solids was reduced to a monochromatic oscillation of the atom and the specific heat was determined based on the quantum treatment of an oscillator in a radiation field. He explains the discrepancies between his formula and the measurements at low temperatures." p. 291. Calaprice Kennefick & Shulmann. An Einstein Encyclopedia. 2015.
