Offprint from Sitzungsberichten der preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften 1 1929. 8vo. 8pp. Berlin: Verlag der Akademie der Wissenschaft 1929. 256 x 183 mm. Original printed wrappers slightly soiled and creased. Very good. First Separate Edition. "In 1928 Einstein embarked on a new approach to a unified field theory . . . involving what he called 'distant parallelism'. . . . By early 1929 he had solved the main problems involved in writing down field equations for his unified theory. On the day of official publication of the third of a formidably technical series of nine articles on the theory . . . excited headlines appeared in foreign newspapers throughout the world. . . . In this frenzied unscientific atmosphere Einstein's new theory was hailed in the press as an outstanding scientific advance. Yet Einstein had stated in his article that it was still tentative; and soon he found he had to abandon it Hoffman Einstein pp. 225-26.

1923ref. 374071923. Einstein Albert 1879-1955. Zur affinen Feldtheorie. Offprint from Sitzungsberichte der preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften 17 1923. 137-140pp. 256 x 185 mm. Original printed wrappers. Fine. First Edition Offprint Issue. In 1923 Einstein published four short papers of which "Zur affinen Feldtheorie" is the third on Eddington's attempt at a unified field theory marking the beginning of a scientific passion that would dominate the remainder of his career. In 1921 British physicist Arthur Eddington had proposed a unified field theory inspired by the work of Hermann Weyl. "Einstein's own initial reaction was that Eddington had created a beautiful framework without content. Nevertheless he began to examine what would be made of these ideas and finally decided that 'I must absolutely publish since Eddington's idea must be thought through to the end.' That was what he wrote to Weyl. Three days later he wrote to him again about unified field theories: 'Above stands the marble smile of implacable Nature which has endowed us more with longing than with intellectual capacity.' Thus romantically began Einstein's adventures with general connections adventures that were to continue until his final hours" Pais Subtle is the Lord p. 343.

1920ref. 21022503New York: Henry Holt 1920. First Edition. Cloth. Good . First US edition first printing octavo size 182 pp. The name "Albert Einstein" 1879-1955 immediately conjures up in the mind of almost everyone the image a brilliant scientist whose research and findings are comprehensible to only a few. He would be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 the year after this book was published and his work led to ideas such as spacetime length contraction neutron stars and black holes - along with many other scientific concepts still being explored today. Einstein published works on "special relativity" as early as 1905 and by 1916 would publish the final form of "general relativity". The two would come together in this work "Relativity The Special and General Theory" first published in London by Methuen in 1920 and in the same year in the US by Henry Holt. In addition to the sections on "The Special Theory of Relativity" and "The General Theory of Relativity" is included a special part "Considerations on the Universe as a Whole" which according to the translator's note was "written specially for this translation" p. ix. ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in full navy blue cloth over boards gilt lettering on the front blind-debossed ruled borders on the front frontispiece a half-tone reproduction of an etching of Einstein in 1920 by Hermann Struck a German-Jewish artist well known for his etchings; octavo size 8 3/8" by 5 5/8" pagination: i-iv v-xiii blank xiv 1-168. ___CONDITION: A bit better than good the boards mostly clean with a few light specks straight corners with minimal rubbing a strong square text block with solid hinges the interior clean and entirely free of prior owner markings; rubbing with slight fraying of the cloth at the head and tail of the spine gilt lettering on the spine has rubbed off leaving debossed lettering the aforementioned light rubbing to the corners an old dampstain at the top fore-edge corner from the front free endpaper through p. 2 a few upper corners bent only the outer quarter-inch by a prior owner offsetting from an old clipping on pp. 16 and 17 and uniform light toning throughout. ___CITATIONS: Printing and the Mind of Man no. 408; online American National Biography and a bit from Wiki. ___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
