Unbound as issued. 223 x 145 mm. Lower corner lightly creased but very good.</p> <p>First Edition Rare Offprint Issue. Einstein's important correction to his paper on specific heats "Die Plancksche Theorie der Strahlung und die Theorie der spezifischen Wärme" 1907; see Weil 15 which "made clear for the first time that quantum concepts have a far more general applicability" Pais p. 394. "Einstein initially believed that his oscillating lattice points in a three-dimensional crystal lattice were electrically charged ions. A few months later he published a correction to his paper in which he observed that this was an unnecessary assumption . . . Einstein's correction freed the quantum rules in passing one might say from any specific dependence on electromagnetism" Pais p. 396. Pais Subtle is the Lord pp. 394-396. Weil 15n.</p> . unknown

Original printed wrappers a little chipped splint in lower spine. Light toning but very good.</p> <p>First Edition Offprint Issue. Einstein's correction to his formula for the viscosity coefficient = 1 a key equation in his 1905 doctoral thesis in which he had presented a new theoretical method for determining molecular radii and Avogadro's number. In 1910 Jacques Bacelin a pupil of French physicist Jean-Baptiste Perrin obtained experimental results indicating a possible error in Einstein's formula. "That prompted Einstein after an unsuccessful attempt to find an error to ask his student and collaborator Ludwig Hopf to check his calculations and arguments . . . Hopf did find an error in the dissertation namely in the derivatives of some velocity components and obtained for a corrected coefficient 2.5 . . .In early 1911 Einstein submitted his correction for publication and recalculated Avogadro's number. He obtained a value of 6.56 x 1023 per mole a value that is close to those derived from kinetic theory and Planck's black-body radiation theory" Duplantier pp. 216-217.

Issued in the prestigious "Classics of Science" series of the USSR Academy of Sciences it was the first comprehensive collection of Einstein's papers anywhere in the world and is regarded by many specialists as the finest such gathering ever produced. The editorial board was extraordinary: Igor E. Tamm Nobel laureate in physics 1958 for the discovery of the Vavilov–Cherenkov effect; the distinguished theoretical physicist Yakov A. Smorodinsky; and the philosopher and historian of science Boris G. Kuznetsov Einstein's principal Soviet biographer. Volume I assembles the foundational relativity papers of 1905–1920 including "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies" the mass–energy equivalence note and the genesis of the general theory; Volume II carries the relativity work through 1955 embracing cosmology gravitational waves and the unified field programme; Volume III collects the Brownian-motion papers the photoelectric and quantum-statistical writings and the celebrated polemical exchanges with Bohr; Volume IV gathers reviews letters autobiographical notes and the popular treatise "The Evolution of Physics" co-written with Leopold Infeld. Extensive scholarly commentary and bibliographies by leading Soviet physicists make this edition indispensable for the history of twentieth-century science.</p> Nauka hardcover
