19311403337Potsdam Germany 1931. Two letters by Albert Einstein. The first is a single-paged autograph letter signed by Albert Einstein with one horizontal fold and one vertical fold. In Very Good condition . Measuring 22.5 x 28.5 cm. Letter accompanied with mailing envelope both with matching paper-clip rust stain. Letter with some light wear along edges small staining to lower corner.<br /> <br> <br /> <br> <br /> Addressed to G. W. Meyer and dated 8 Oktober 31 in Potsdam the Letter reads in full: "Sehr geehrter Herr! Indem ich Ihnen für die Uebersendung des Buches von Henry George bestens danke sende ich Ihnen anliegend die gewünschte Meinungsäusserung mit der Bitte um Weiterleitung an Mrs. Evans. Mit ausgezeichneter Hochachtung" and signed in ink "A. Einstein". He thanks Meyer for serving as an intermediary in getting a book to him and for forwarding the enclosed letter.<br /> <br> <br /> <br> <br /> The second letter is a typed copy of Einstein's previously enclosed letter presumably made by Meyer before he passed the original on to Evans.<br /> <br> <br /> <br> <br /> Addressed to R. W. Evans and dated 8.10.1931 in Potsdam the letter discusses Henry George's economic theory of poverty and land nationalization compares it to Franz Oppenheimer's work and proposes questions to be asked. Presumably he was sent a copy of Henry George's Progress and Poverty. First published in 1879 it sparked the Progressive Era discussing the paradox of increasing inequality and poverty amid economic and technological progress as well as the economic value of land.<br /> <br> <br /> <br> <br /> Consignment. Shelved Case 3. The Letter reads in full: "Sehr geehrte Mrs. Evans!<br /> Ich habe das Buch von Henry George zum grössten<br /> Teil mit ausserordentlichem Interesse gelesen und glaube dass es in der Hauptsache einen unanfechtbaren Standpunkt vertritt insbesondere was die Ursache der Armut betrifft. Nie in diesem Buch vertretenen Ansichten stimmen soweit ich es beurteilen kann vollkommen mit den Resultaten des zeitgenössischen Professors Franz Oppenheimer überein der sie offenbar selbständig herausgefunden hat. Nicht einverstanden bin ich mit der Theorie des Zinses.<br /> Mit dem vorgeschlagenen Heilmittel der Verstaatlichung des Bodens und der Bodenschätzung scheint mir allerdings mehr ein Problem als eine Lösung gegeben zu sein. Soll z. Beispiel ein Boden Eigentum der Gemeinschaft das darauf hingestellte Haus aber Privateigentum sein Jedenfalls ist es schon von höchster Wichtigkeit dass das Wesen des Uebels klar aufgezeigt ist. Schon darum wäre es wichtig wenn das Buch die ihm gebührende Beachtung fände.<br /> Mit ausgezeichneter Hochachtung<br /> gez. A. Einstein." 1403337. Shelved Dupont Bookstore. unknown
1949179026Evanston Illinois: The Library of Living Philosophers Inc. 1949. A superb survival First edition signed limited issue number 555 of 760 copies signed and dated by Einstein. The book and slipcase are in fine condition and they are housed in the elusive original cardboard packaging which is numbered to match the limitation. This is the first copy that we have handled in its original packaging. Issued on his 70th birthday this handsomely produced volume includes the first appearance in print of Einstein's autobiography specially written for the book and itself an important scientific contribution. In addition to the autobiographical notes in which Einstein famously describes the awakening of his scientific curiosity when shown a compass as a child the book presents a series of essays on Einstein's work and achievements by 25 of his contemporaries including Niels Bohr Max Born Kurt Gödel and Wolfgang Pauli. Several of these have become seminal papers in their own right: "Bohr's account of his discussion with Einstein has been called 'one of the great masterpieces of modern scientific reporting'" Jammer p. 136 and Gödel's "appears to be the only published piece by him that deals with philosophical issues not directly concerned with mathematics" Feferman p. 199. A bibliography of Einstein's writings is also included. This copy is accompanied by correspondence between a former owner George Pratt of Portland Oregon and the Open Court Publishing Company who issued the Library of Living Philosophers series from 1959 onwards. Pratt's name is written in ink on the cardboard packaging. Primarily dated between 1974 and 1975 the typed letters mostly supplied in photocopy detail Pratt's successful verification of Einstein's signature. They include testimony from R. F. Gehner a representative of the George Banta Publishing Company printer of the series in which Gehner recounts personally delivering 760 copies of Philosopher-Scientist to Einstein and observing him sign them. A portion of the original glassine jacket is also present in the envelope. Octavo. Portrait frontispiece after Yousuf Karsh and plate facsimile of Einstein's handwriting and portrait in his studio with the editor.

It is most difficult to get scientists to write simply and clearly about the fundamentals of their science and the leading philosophical ideas that guide them. … In this book there is played out a great scientific drama of the last two decades. … The book starts with an intellectual autobiography by Einstein himself. He satirically calls it his obituary. I know of no other to compare with it. Neither Newton nor Maxwell nor any of the other great giants of physics had his Schilpp the editor to catalyze such an effort. After reading Einstein's article one realizes the great loss this is to scientific culture" <i>Science</i> 21 April 1950.</p><b>This is an especially fine signed copy of an important book in the Einstein canon</b> Library of Living Philosophers, hardcover

19231413011923. Extremely rare original photograph boldly signed "Albert Einstein Jerusalem 1923" during his only trip to Palestine in 1923. Einstein's return voyage from his tour of Japan and China took him via the Red Sea and Suez Canal which allowed him to accept the invitation of Arthur Ruppin the director of the Palestine office of the Zionist Organization in Jaffa to visit the region for twelve days. Einstein arrived in Port Said on February 1 1923 and from there he traveled to Jerusalem Tel Aviv Jaffa and Haifa. The photographer Zvi Oron began his career in Warsaw and the United States before opening a studio in Tel Aviv in 1919. In 1930 he moved to Jerusalem and opened a studio of Jaffa Street working in the service of press clients and the British Government. He was well regarded for his candid images that captured daily life in the British Mandate. The Zionist archive holds over 1300 of his negatives. Double matted and framed the entire piece measures 19.75 inches by 15.5 inches. An exceptional piece. This is the only signed photograph known from his time in Palestine. Albert Einstein developed the general theory of relativity one of the two pillars of modern physics alongside quantum mechanics. Einstein's work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. Einstein is best known in popular culture for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2 which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation". He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his "services to theoretical physics" in particular his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect a pivotal step in the evolution of quantum theory David Bodanis. unknown
