1929rif. 6551Berlin: Verlag der Akademie der Wissenschaften in Kommision bei Walter de Gruyter U. Co 1929. First separate edition. Fine. 6 pages in printed wraps. Not exactly an "offprint" since the pages are numbered from 1 and the pamphlet is given its own title page this is considered the first separate edition of a paper Einstein published in the periodical of the Prussian Academy. It is considered Einstein's initial effort having established general and special relativity to find a unified theory uniting gravity and electromagnetism a problem he struggled with for his remaining life.

Approximate Eng. translation of title: "Electron theory of the natural optical rotation ability of isotropic and anisotropic liquids". Max Born 1882-1970 was a German physicist and mathematician who was instrumental in the development of quantum mechanics. He also made contributions to solid-state physics and optics as well as supervised a number of notable physicists in the 1920s and 1930s. Born won the 1954 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his fundamental research in quantum mechanics especially in the statistical interpretation of the wave function." In 1919 a chance meeting with Fritz Haber 1868-1934 led to the discussion of how an ionic compound is formed when a metal reacts with a halogen - a process now known as the Born-Haber cycle Wikipedia. . unknown books

Approximate English translations of titles: 1 "Elementary considerations about thermal molecular motion in solid bodies" and 2 "On the influence of gravity on the propagation of light." "Einstein returns to his thoughts on gravitation and discusses his ideas on the static gravitational field no. 1 above advancing the "half-shift" prediction of the deflection of light by a massive body such as the Sun. In his early papers on the subject . . . he used two important features: the principle of equivalence and the role of the speed of light. In this paper he takes a broader perspective saying that if a light beam is bent in an accelerating frame of reference then if the theory is correct it must also be besnt by gravity by exactly the equivalent amount." Calaprice An Einstein Encyclopedia. "An important conclusion of this paper is that the velocity of light in a gravitational field is a function of the place. The equation: c = c01 / c2 signifies that there exists a relationship between the velocity of light and the gravitational potential; the latter influences the first." Weinstein Einstein's 1912-1913 struggles with Gravitation Theory: Importance of Static Gravitational Fields Theory. "Here no. 2 above 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 discrepencies between his formula and the measurements at low temperatures" Calaprice An Einstein Encyclopedia. Weil's Einstein Bibliography nos. 42 and 43.

Entire volume: 2 749 3 VII 450 pp. First printing of Einstein's famous lecture in which he anticipated the discovery of black-body radiation and famously stated that: "the next phase in the development of theoretical physics will bring us a theory of light which may be regarded as a sort of fusion of the undulatory and emission theories of light" The present paper Pp. 482-3. He furthermore stated that the electromagnetic fields that constitute light will no longer appear to be states of a hypothetical medium but rather independent entities emitted by the sources of light exactly as in the Newtonian emission theory of light. The paper was delivered as a lecture before the 81st assembly of the 'Gesellschaft Deutscher Naturforscher' in Salzburg on 21st September 1909.The occasion was important for Einstein since he for years had been working in scientific exile. Among those who attended Einstein's lecture were some of the world's foremost physicists such as; Max von Laue Max Born Arnold Sommerfeld. All published papers of their own in the present volume.
