1933Best.-Nr. 180318Amsterdam: Koninklijke Akademie van Wetenschappen 1933. First edition offprint issue of the third of Einstein and Mayer's four classic papers on semi-vectors in which they aimed to incorporate the Dirac equation into the general theory of relativity. "By introducing semi-vectors Einstein wanted to arrive at a mathematically simpler and more general formulation of spinors. The semi-vector generalization of the Dirac equation was thought to give a unified description of charged elementary particles in particular of the electron and proton" Van Dongen pp. 103-5. Large octavo pp. 4. Original cream wrappers front wrapper printed in black wire-stitched as issued.

His most significant later contribution to cosmology First editions offprint issues of the papers that introduced the Swiss-cheese model of the universe. Einstein and Straus revised the FLRW metric by suggesting that the universe is in fact inhomogeneous. "In two ground-breaking papers Einstein and Straus showed how galaxies fit into a Universe with zero pressure. This model helps to describe the universe observed today" Harwit p. 573. Quarto pp. 5.

1949Best.-Nr. 180348Ottowa: Canadian Mathematical Society 1949. Their final collaboration First edition offprint issue. Einstein and Infeld demonstrate that "field equations alone suffice as a basis for solving the problem of motion in general relativistic theory since the Einstein equations not only determine how particles must respond to gravitational forces but also contain the information necessary to describe those forces" Calaprice p. 323. Octavo pp. 34. Original orange wrappers wire-stitched as issued front cover lettered in black. Front wrapper lightly marked: a near-fine copy. Boni 259; Weil 223.

1932Best.-Nr. 180272Easton Pennsylvania: Mack Printing Company 1932. Einstein revises his "biggest blunder" First edition journal issue of the paper in which Einstein rejected his 1917 cosmological constant and acknowledged the expansion of the universe. Drawing on Hubble's law Einstein and de Sitter proposed that the constant should be set equal to zero thereby offering a new model of the universe. "In 1917 Einstein had shown how to construct a universe that was static by introducing a 'cosmological constant' into his equations. This matched well with the idea current before Hubble's 1924 measurement of the distances to the nebulae of a small and static 'universe' that was confined to the stars of the Milky Way galaxy. Einstein's idea of a static universe suspended between gravity pulling inward and the cosmological constant making the universe expand was ruled out by Hubble's data" Kirshner pp. 9-12. In Einstein and de Sitter's revised model "the galaxies receded forever but the recession rate declines to zero as time approaches infinity. Some sources indicate that this is the first attempt to describe our universe rather than a mathematical abstraction of universes possible under general relativity. Shortly after Einstein formally renounced his cosmological constant and according to George Gamow called it 'the biggest blunder of my life'" Wenner. Einstein and de Sitter 1872-1934 were close collaborators in the 1920s at Leiden where de Sitter was chair of astronomy and Einstein was a visiting professor. De Sitter is also known for the concepts of De Sitter space and the De Sitter universe. Large octavo. Original brown wrappers covers printed in black.

1921Best.-Nr. 148232New York: Harcourt Brace and Company 1921. First edition of this popular science book that made Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity accessible to general readers. Octavo original cloth frontispiece with black and white illustrations. In very good condition name to the title page. Easy Lessons in Einstein 1920 by Edwin E. Slosson is an early and influential work of science communication that seeks to explain Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity in accessible terms for a general audience. Written at a time when Einstein’s ideas were gaining international attention but remained largely misunderstood by the public Slosson's book demystifies complex scientific concepts such as space-time the constancy of the speed of light and the relativity of motion using analogies and clear language rather than technical mathematics. As a chemist and science writer Slosson played a key role in making cutting-edge scientific developments comprehensible to non-specialists. The book reflects both the growing public fascination with modern physics in the early 20th century and the importance of translating theoretical science into broader cultural understanding.

1931Best.-Nr. 146050New York: The MacMillan Company 1931. First edition of this volume of Einstein's speeches and letters concerning his views on Zionism. Octavo original cloth. Boldly signed and dated in the year of publication on the front free endpaper "Albert Einstein 1931." Near fine with light toning to the endpapers in the scarce original dust jacket which is in good condition with some wear. Translated and edited with an introduction by Leon Simon. Exceptionally rare signed. Einstein was a prominent supporter of both Labor Zionism and efforts to encourage Jewish-Arab cooperation. He supported the creation of a Jewish national homeland in the British mandate of Palestine but was opposed to the idea of a Jewish state "with borders an army and a measure of temporal power." In a letter to Jawaharlal Nehru dated June 13 1947 he asserted "Long before the emergence of Hitler I made the cause of Zionism mine because through it I saw a means of correcting a flagrant wrong.The Jewish people alone has for centuries been in the anomalous position of being victimized and hounded as a people though bereft of all the rights and protections which even the smallest people normally has.Zionism offered the means of ending this discrimination." Einstein's speeches lectures and letters concerning Zionism were first published in 1930 by The Soncino Press and eleven of these essays were later collected in The World as I See It published in 1933 which Einstein dedicated "to the Jews of Germany".
