Albert Einstein, Philosopher-Scientist : The Library of Living Philosophers Volume VII

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. Written in German by Einstein himself, the book is faced, page-by-page, with a translation by the noted Professor of Philosophy Paul Arthur Schilpp.Author: Schilpp, Paul Arthur,editor Contributors: Schilpp, Paul Arthur,editor Binding: paperback Number Of Pages: 800 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Published/Release Date: 11 Feb 1999 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Open Court Publishing Co,U.S. Author/Director/Artist: Paul Arthur Schilpp Dimension (cm): 235x159x38 mm Package Dimension (cm): 33x221x147 mm Item Weight (g): 1066 Package Weight (g): 634
