1944ref. 182569London: The Jewish Agency for Palestine 1944. First separate edition of Einstein's appeal for Zionism. Einstein was one of the most prominent international supports of Zionism. He argues Palestine is the only place historically spiritually and culturally tied to the Jewish people. Whereas the Arabs with many homelands the Jews have nowhere else to go. Their claims are rooted not in conquest or nationalism but in justice and survival. The article was originally published in the Princeton Herald earlier that year. This publication prints the article alongside other speeches and letters by Einstein extracted from his 1930 About Zionism. Provenance: Jews' College Library London with their shelf mark to the front wrapper and their stamp to the front wrapper verso. Octavo. Original wrappers. Library markings see note a little creased and spotted. A good copy. unknown

1934ref. 180324Princeton: Princeton University Press 1934. First edition offprint issue of the fourth and final paper on Einstein and Mayer's semi-vectors in which they aimed to incorporate the Dirac equation into the general theory of relativity. This last article "was presented foremost as an exercise with exclusively mathematical appeal" Van Dongen p. 106. Large octavo pp. 7. Disbound from wrappers wire-stitched. Nicks and a handful of short closed tears to extremities: a very good copy. Boni 225; Weil 193. Jeroen van Dongen Einstein's Unification 2010. unknown
1933ref. 180322Amsterdam: Koninklijke Akademie van Wetenschappen 1933. First edition offprint issue of the second 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. In their second semi-vector paper Einstein and Mayer were on the lookout for the most general Dirac system possible for the semivector" Van Dongen pp. 103-11. Large octavo pp. 20.

1945ref. 180350Lancaster Pennsylvania: American Physical Society 1945 & 1946. 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.

1949ref. 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.

1932ref. 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.
