In these memoirs Einstein supposed that the gravitational field can be characterized completely by one function the local speed of light analogous to the Newtonian description where only the gravitational potential appears. By an extraordinary argument he extended the potential equation of Newton.In his second Memoir in 1912 he used the equivalence principle to show the influence of a static gravitational field on electromagnetic and thermal processes."

It is the work done with Leopold Indfeld and Banesh Hoffmann on the N-body problem of motion. In these papers the gravitational field is no longer treated as external. Instead it and the motion of its singular sources are treated simultaneously. A new approximation scheme is introduced in which the fields are no longer necessarily weak but in which the source velocities are small compared with the light velocity. These equations are widely used in analyses of planetary orbits in the solar system."Pais "Subtle is the Lord" pp. 290-91.Weil: 202 a. 205 both with an asterix denoting a major paper. - Boni: 236 a. 236.1. </em> hardcover

192021022503New York: Henry Holt 1920. First Edition. Cloth. Good . First US edition first printing octavo size 182 pp. The name "Albert Einstein" 1879-1955 immediately conjures up in the mind of almost everyone the image a brilliant scientist whose research and findings are comprehensible to only a few. He would be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 the year after this book was published and his work led to ideas such as spacetime length contraction neutron stars and black holes - along with many other scientific concepts still being explored today. <br/><br/>Einstein published works on "special relativity" as early as 1905 and by 1916 would publish the final form of "general relativity". The two would come together in this work "Relativity The Special and General Theory" first published in London by Methuen in 1920 and in the same year in the US by Henry Holt. In addition to the sections on "The Special Theory of Relativity" and "The General Theory of Relativity" is included a special part "Considerations on the Universe as a Whole" which according to the translator's note was "written specially for this translation" p. ix. <br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Bound in full navy blue cloth over boards gilt lettering on the front blind-debossed ruled borders on the front frontispiece a half-tone reproduction of an etching of Einstein in 1920 by Hermann Struck a German-Jewish artist well known for his etchings; octavo size 8 3/8" by 5 5/8" pagination: i-iv v-xiii blank xiv 1-168. <br/><br/>___CONDITION: A bit better than good the boards mostly clean with a few light specks straight corners with minimal rubbing a strong square text block with solid hinges the interior clean and entirely free of prior owner markings; rubbing with slight fraying of the cloth at the head and tail of the spine gilt lettering on the spine has rubbed off leaving debossed lettering the aforementioned light rubbing to the corners an old dampstain at the top fore-edge corner from the front free endpaper through p. 2 a few upper corners bent only the outer quarter-inch by a prior owner offsetting from an old clipping on pp. 16 and 17 and uniform light toning throughout. <br/><br/>___CITATIONS: Printing and the Mind of Man no. 408; online American National Biography and a bit from Wiki. <br/><br/>___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details.<br/><br/>___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

At that time he was already thinking about writing a popular book on relativity—both the special and the general—as he indicated in a letter to his close friend Michele Besso quoted in the epigraph. Einstein completed the manuscript in December and the booklet as he referred to it Relativity: The Special and the General Theory A Popular Account was published in German in the spring of 1917. Einstein believed that the laws of nature could be formulated in a number of simple basic principles and this quest for simplicity characterized his scientific activities. He also believed that it was his duty to explain these principles in simple terms to the general public and to convey the happiness and satisfaction that understanding them can generate. As Einstein stated in the short introduction to his booklet he "spared himself no pains in his endeavour to present the main ideas in the simplest and most intelligible form" Einstein Papers Princeton Press 10.

The paper "represents the basis of the one written by the same author in collaboration with Wolfgang Pauli in 1943 in which by following analogous lines the proof of the non-existence of regular particle-type solutions was generalized to the case of cilyndrical geometries in Kaluza-Klein theory Einstein & Pauli 1943. Besides other generalizations were subsequently presented. The non-existence of such solutions in classical unified field theory was undoubtedly an important criterion leading Einstein's investigations."Galvagno and Giribet."In his search for a unified field theory that could undercut quantum mechanics Einstein considered five-dimensional classical Kaluza-Klein theory. He studied this theory most intensively during the years 1938-1943. One of his primary objectives was finding a non-singular particle solution. In the full theory this search got frustrated and in the x5-independent theory Einstein together with Pauli argued it would be impossible to find these structures."

Notes: Albert Einstein 1879 – 1955 was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of relativity one of the two pillars of modern physics alongside quantum mechanics. His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. He is best known to the general public for his mass–energy equivalence formula which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation". He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect" a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory.
