1921ref. 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.

1946ref. 1576McGraw-Hill 1946. 1st Edition. IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS THE FIRST PUBLICATION BY EINSTEIN OF THE FAMILIAR EQUATION E=mc2 IN THAT SPECIFIC FORM. Eight months after Hiroshima the editors of Science Illustrated turned to Albert Einstein to explain "the form of the energy that destroyed Hiroshima;" "to explain in his own words what takes place in the operation of his law" Science Illustrated 1 1 pp. 17 April 1946. The editors believed that given the deployment of two nuclear weapons "average citizens" wanted at least a layman's understanding of the mathematical law that enabled atomic explosions so that they were better able to understand the destruction the bombs unleashed ibid. The mathematical equation or law in question was one Einstein published in 1905 in his Theory of Special Relativity but the form in which it was then written was longer and more complex. In the paper offered here Einstein presents the equation we all now know a shorter more understandable derivation of his equation based upon the law of the conservation of momentum the pressure of radiation and the aberration of light: E = mc2. In layman's terms Einstein also explains the equivalence of mass and energy and discusses the profound 'urgent' implications of his principle ibid. In this article Einstein writes: "'What takes place can be illustrated with the help of our rich man. The atom M is a rich miser who during his life gives away no money energy. But in his will he bequeaths his fortune to his sons M' and M'' on condition that they give to the community a small amount less than one thousandth of the whole estate energy or mass. The sons together have somewhat less than the father had the mass sum M' M'' is somewhat smaller than the mass M of the radioactive atom. But the part given to the community though relatively small is still so enormously large considered as kinetic energy that it brings with it a great threat of evil. Averting that threat has become the most urgent problem of our time" ibid. CONDITION & DETAILS: Complete issue bound in its original wrappers. 4to. pp. 1-128. Very slighy scuffing to the front wrap.

1941ref. 2142520/12/1941. Brigitte Kaufmann was born in Germany but when the Nazis came to power in 1933 she fled to Paris. In France Kaufmann worked as an actress under the name of Brigitte Châtel and translated documents. She met her future husband Alfred Alexander-Katz in Paris and they married in 1939; the following day her husband was taken to an internment camp. He was given the choice of being interned in a labor camp or joining the Foreign Legion and chose the latter. Alexander was then sent to Clermont in Vichy France and the family relocated there. Dr. Walter Rudlin was a social science professor at Sarah Lawrence College in New York and actively involved in anti-fascist activities. He was the author of “The Growth of Fascism in Great Britain”. In September 1942 he left his position and joined the U.S. Board of Economic Welfare whose chair was Vice President Henry Wallace. His wife Eryl was interested in bringing Jews in Europe out of harm’s way and she knew the Alexander-Katz family. So Eryl sought to get Brigitte and her family safely out of Europe to Mexico and sought Einstein’s help. On March 12 1941 Einstein responded noting that Brigitte is his relative. “Thank you very much for your letter of March 11th. I am very gratified indeed to learn that our mutual friends Fred and Brigitte Alexander-Katz have some prospect to receive a visa into Mexico. I am certainly willing to vouch for their reliability and integrity both personal and political. I have known Mrs. Brigitte Alexander-Katz - whose family is related to mine - since she was a little girl. Her husband a very able engineer will certainly be useful to any country which receives him. If you will send me the address of the proper Mexican authority I shall gladly send any letter of recommendation desired.” This was a warm letter indeed expressing true concern and friendship for the Alexander-Katz family. On April 3 1941 Einstein again wrote Rudlin noting “Enclosed I am sending you the requested letters in the hope that they may be successful.” But there were delays and no visa so Rudlin wrote Einstein seven months later asking him to take the matter up with the Mexican government. Typed letter signed on his blind-embossed letterhead Princeton December 20 1941 to Mrs. Eryl Rudlin saying that he expects the visa to be granted but does not feel he ought to approach the Mexican government directly. “The Mexican authorities know that I am interested in the case of the Alexander-Katz family; they have kept me informed about the whole development of the matter. I have no doubt that admission to Mexico will be granted as it has been granted to hundreds of people in the same situation. I can give Mr. Alexander-Katz a recommendation but it is out of the question that I ask the Minister of Education to send him an official invitation. I have already done what could be done without intrusion.” Despite what he writes here to calm Mrs. Rudlin Einstein might have exerted some gentle pressure on Mexico by contacting the Mexican ambassador to the U.S. Gilberto Bosques; or the Alexander-Katz visas may have already being granted at that moment. The Einstein Archives is silent on this subject. But soon after Einstein soon wrote this letter in 1942 a telegram to the young Alexander-Katz family arrived stating that Einstein and Rudolph Uhlman a lawyer in New York had secured visas through Ambassador Bosques for them to escape to Veracruz Mexico aboard the ship San Thomé. In Mexico Brigitte she became a noted author actress director and translator. She became the first woman in Mexico to produce and direct television programs. Speaking five languages she also worked as a translator for UNESCO and Amnesty International. Her daughter Susana and granddaughter Sophie also became actors. unknown
2022A cent’anni di distanza dalla prima edizione, del 1922, Durata e simultaneità di Bergson presenta ancora importanti spunti di carattere filosofico, per comprendere appieno il pensiero del filosofo francese, in particolare il tema della durata, e mantiene un fondamentale valore storico per cogliere l’ampio dibattito filosofico e scientifico suscitato dalla teoria di Einstein. Quest’edizione italiana del testo è arricchita con tutti gli altri scritti di Bergson dedicati alla relatività, la discussione con Einstein, le note e le lettere del filosofo su queste tematiche o sul libro, oltre a quelle rivolte al grande fisico tedesco. Le polemiche e le incomprensioni tra filosofi e fisici sulla teoria della relatività, le vicissitudini editoriali del testo, nonché le analisi critiche di filosofi come Maurice Merleau-Ponty e Gilles Deleuze, e scienziati come Arthur S. Eddington, Louis De Broglie, Olivier Costa de Bauregard e Ilya Prigogine, in un libro che continua a offrire spunti di riflessione e a suscitare inesaurite opposizioni su di un tema capitale come quello del dibattito tra il tempo dei filosofi e il tempo della scienza. Autori: Henri Bergson. Curatori: Paolo Taroni.

Illustrated editorial hardcover with just light signs of dust on the back otherwise in excellent conditions, clean and tight, almost as new inside. “There is a certain nervousness about discussing the prominence of Jews in twentieth-century mathematics. This book does an excellent job in presenting an issue the history of mathematics which is generally recognised and acknowledged by mathematicians, but hardly ever dealt with in print. A careful and authoritative account of the lives and contributions of his subjects.” (Prof. Reuben Hersch)
