Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 8vo (22.5 cm), XVI, 552 pp, [8] pp of plates. Publisher's laminated wrappers (wrappers slightly rubbed, paper somewhat toned). "Since the death of Albert Einstein in 1955, many books and articles have been written about the man, along with numerous attempts to 'explain' relativity. In this new major work, Abraham Pais, himself an eminent physicist who worked alongside Einstein in the post-war years, traces the development of Einstein's entire oeuvre. This is the first book to deal comprehensively and in depth with Einstein's science, covering both his successes and his failures. Running through the book is a completely non-scientific biography (identified in the table of contents by italic type), which includes many letters appearing in English for the first time, as well as other previously unpublished information."
