Finely bound edition of Einstein's singular autobiography. Octavo, original cloth with gilt titles to the spine, top edge gilt, frontispiece of Einstein by Yousuf Karsh. Edited by Paul Arthur Schilpp. In near fine condition.
Written by the man considered the "Person of the Century" by Time magazine, this is not a glimpse into Einstein's personal life, but an extension and elaboration into his thinking on science. Two of the great theories of the physical world were created in the early 20th century: the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. Einstein created the theory of relativity and was also one of the founders of quantum theory. Here, Einstein describes the failure of classical mechanics and the rise of the electromagnetic field, the theory of relativity, and of the quanta. "The greatest physicist of the 20th century" (PMM 408).
