Halbledereinband der Zeit; feines Expl. First and original edition of Einstein's famous lecture in a well preserved copy. By 1913 Einstein had reached a temporary impasse following the publication of his and Marcel Grossmann's "Entwurf einer Verallgemeinerten Relalitivitätstheorie.". but his view on the need for generalising the Special Theory aroused great interest and in September he but them before the 85th Congress. held in Vienna. The auditorium was packed with scientists anxious to hear about a theory even more outlandish than Special Relativity. In some ways they were disappointed. Instead of the esoteric explanations they had expected there came one of Einstein's minor masterpieces of simple statement an account in which he compared the development of the various theories of gravitation with the development of successive concepts of electricity.

Near fine condition. <br /> <br /> "This paper is an early example of a series of papers - which continued until his death - in which he explored within the confines of general relativity possible pathways in the direction of a unified field theory. Here he discusses whether it is possible to explain why electrons and protons have equal charge but unequal masses. He notes that a more natural solution to the field equations would be particles of opposite sign and equal mass thus anticipating but for unrelated "Select Annotated Biography 114 p. 307. <br /> <br /> ALSO INCLUDED: Zeeman "Lorentz en de Hypothese der Licht-Quanta Bij de Voortplanting Van Licht" pp. 325-330 Lorentz was Zeeman's mentor. <br /> <br /> ALSO INCLUDED: Some of the issue is a memorial to Lorentz.

192579Paris: Gauthier-Villars 1925. First French edition of Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter Korper On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies and 1st die Tragheit eines Korpers von seinem Energieinhalt abhangig Does the Inertia of a Body Depend on its Energy Content. Both 1905 treatises are "beyond compare and without precedent one of the greatest scientific achievements in content and one of the most brilliant in style" Gosling Albert Einstein. <br /> <br /> The first paper is "a landmark in the development of physics one of the two papers that laid out the theory of special relativity formulated a new conception of time. By assuming that the speed of light is the same to every observer moving at a constant velocity Einstein showed that space and time were not independent: spacetime was born. According to Hermann Weyl in 1918 this theory ‘led to the discovery that time is associated as a fourth coordinate on an equal footing with the other three coordinates of space and that the scene of material events the world is therefore a four-dimensional metrical continuum.' It was a revolutionary piece of scientific work" Calaprice The Einstein Almanac 15. <br /> <br /> In the second work Einstein uses "the postulates of the special theory of relativity Einstein showed that energy radiated is equivalent to mass lost. For the first time he concluded that ‘the mass of a body is a measure of its energy content'" ibid 16. CONDITION & DETAILS: Paris: Gauthier-Villars 1925. Small 8vo. 4 56 2 6 catalog.

19221648Berlin: Verlag der Akademie der Wissenschaften 1922. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION COMMERCIAL OFFPRINT ISSUE OF EINSTEIN'S THEORY OF THE LIGHT PROPAGATION IN DISPERSIVE MEDIA. WEIL 120. <br /> <br /> "After 1917 Einstein firmly believed that light-quanta were here to stay thus it is not surprising that he would look for new ways in which the existence of photons might lead to observable deviation from the classical picture. In this he did not succeed. At one point in 1921 he thought he had found a new quantum criterion but it soon turned out to be a false lead as demonstrated in this paper" Schilpp-Shields 162. <br /> <br /> That paper — the one offered here — is Einstein's evidence that his 1921 efforts were incorrect. In it Einstein introduces a calculation on the topic and explains why his earlier proposed experiment had not been well considered because it could not predict a good choice between two theoretical alternatives" Calaprice Einstein Encyclopedia 98.

Wrappers in overall good- to good interior in good to very good condition. Alfred Flechtheim 1878-1937 was a German art dealer art collector journalist and publisher. Flechtheim appeared in the art world shortly after 1900 with a collection of paintings by Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cézanne; French Avant garde early works of Pablo Picasso Georges Braque and André Derain; paintings of Wassily Kandinsky Maurice de Vlaminck Alexej von Jawlensky Gabriele Münter and the Rhein Expressionists Heinrich Campendonk August Macke Heinrich Nauen de and Paul Adolf Seehaus de. Flechtheim opened his first gallery in Düsseldorf in 1913 followed by galleries in Berlin Frankfurt Cologne and Vienna. Flechtheim served in the German Army during World War I but not at the front. His art business collapsed during the war but he re-opened in Düsseldorf in 1919. In 1921 he founded "Der Querschnitt" the Cross Section a cultural magazine. Legendary glamorous parties in Flechtheim's gallery overflowed with the glitterati of the new Berlin: movie stars titans of finance prizefighters and artists of every stripe. As Hitler rose to power in the late 1920s and early 1930s Flechtheim became a bête noire because of the art he espoused and championed. In 1933 Sturmabteilung men broke up an auction of Flechtheim's paintings. The Nazis aryanized Flechtheim's gallery as they would many other Jewish businesses and turned it over to Flechtheim's business manager Alex Vömel. After the war former party member Vömel said he didn't even remember who Flechtheim was. The Nazis seized and sold off Flechtheim's private collection as well as the contents of his gallery. Emigration and Death Six months after the Nazis came to power in 1933 Flechtheim penniless fled to Paris and tried to find work with his former business partner Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler. Flechtheim subsequently organized exhibits in London of the paintings of exiled German artists. In London Flechtheim slipped on a patch of ice was taken to a hospital punctured his leg on a rusty nail in his hospital bed developed septicemia leading to amputation of his leg and died.

192188645Berlin, Julius Springer, 1921, in-8, 20 pp, Broché, couverture crème imprimée de l'éditeur, Première édition de cette conférence prononcée par Einstein (1879-1955) à l'occasion de la séance commémorative de l'Académie prussienne en l'honneur de Frédéric le Grand. Le physicien y résume ses théories sur la géométrisation de la physique et de la relativité, ainsi que sur la relation des mathématiques au monde : "Comment est-il possible que la mathématique, qui est un produit de la pensée humaine et indépendante de toute expérience, puisse s'adapter d'une si admirable manière aux objets de la réalité ? La raison humaine serait-elle donc capable, sans avoir recours à l'expérience, de découvrir par la pensée seule les propriétés des objets réels ?" L'opuscule a été publié l'année où il reçut le prix Nobel. Cachet ex-libris du révolutionnaire Russe et bibliophile Marcel Bekus (1888-1939). Bon exemplaire.
