About this title

Synopsis

Originally published in 1938 by Cambridge University Press, The Evolution of Physics traces the development of ideas in physics, in a manner suitable for any reader. Written by famed physicist Albert Einstein and Leopold Infeld, this latest edition includes a new introduction from modern Einstein biographer, Walter Isaacson.

Using this work to push his realist approach to physics in defiance of much of quantum mechanics, Einstein's The Evolution of Physics was published to great popularity and was featured in a Time magazine cover story. A classic work for any student of physics or lover of Albert Einstein, The Evolution of Physics can be enjoyed by any and should be celebrated by all.

About the Author

Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist, widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest physicists of all time. Einstein is best known for developing the theory of relativity, but he also made important contributions to the development of the theory of quantum mechanics.
