Mit Einstein ist es wie mit Goethe: Wer ihn zitiert, liegt richtig. Dieses Buch bietet Albert Einstein im Originalton und eine Fülle von »geflügelten Worten« und Stoßseufzern, Bonmots und Denkanstößen aus der Feder und aus dem Herzen des Jahrhundertgenies.

Einstein ber E, Quantentheorie, Gesellschaft, m, Hitler, Toleranz, Todesstrafe, Mozart, c2, Manschettenknpfe ... Auerdem: die Relativittstheorie auf den knappsten, allgemein verstndlichen Nenner gebracht.

Einstein describes the theories that made him famous, illuminating his case with numerous examples and a smattering of maths. The book is not casual reading but for those who appreciate his work without diving into the arcana of theoretical physics.

General relativity or the general theory of relativity is the geometric theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1915. It is the current description of gravitation in modern physics. General relativity generalises special relativity and Newtons law of universal gravitation, providing a unified description of gravity as a geometric property of space and time, or spacetime. In particular, the curvature of spacetime is directly related to the four-momentum (mass-energy and linear momentum) of whatever matter and radiation are present. The relation is specified by the Einstein field...

To quote Einstein himself, this slim volume was "intended, as far as possible, to give an exact insight into the theory of Relativity to those readers who, from a general scientific and philosophical point of view, are interested in the theory, but who are not conversant with the mathematical apparatus of theoretical physics." Despite his formidable intellect, Einstein writes in a clear and engaging style, using familiar examples to illustrate his theories and their surprising conclusions. Anyone with a curiosity about the man, and his often misquoted theories, would do well to settle down...

Erwin Freundlich (1885 1964) was a renowned astronomer and close working associate of Albert Einstein. In this volume Freundlich provides a concise explanation of the ideas and theories which led to the general theory of relativity. Remarkably lucid and readable considering the difficulty of its subject matter, the text is also notable for containing a preface written by Einstein himself. A fascinating book, it will be of value to anyone with an interest in general relativity and the history of science. This English translation by Henry L. Brose was first published in 1920, and the German...
