1998HS-51Princeton N.J.: Princeton University Press 1998. This volume opens in spring 1914 when Einstein takes up a research professorship at the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin and closes with the collapse of the German Empire four and one-half years later. A good portion of the documentation which comprises more than 675 letters has only recently been discovered by the editors. The letters touch on all aspects of Einstein's activities and shed new light on his inner life including the breakup of Einstein's first marriage and the divorce are presented here for the first time in all their complexity. New material shows Einstein maintaining a strong sense of moral urgency throughout the war. The scientific correspondence documents Einstein's struggle to find satisfactory field equations for his new gravitational theory--the general theory of relativity--and his continued discussion with leading physicists and mathematicians about the implications and further development of the theory. 714 pgs.

Chicago: Atomic Scientists of Chicago 1948. The December1948 issue of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. The famous and historic Doomsday Clock - shown on each cover since 1947 two years after the publication's inception - here shows the time to be eight minutes of midnight as of December1948. Quarto illustrated staple-bound wraps 32 pp. pages 353 through 384 for the annual volume monthly pages then being numbered after the fashion of the time. A strong Very Good; moderate sunning at edges of covers otherwise no notable flaws whatever see scans. Very light inevitable age-toning to the pages. A handsome example; see all scans. Established in 1945 by biophysicist Eugene Rabinowitch and physicist Hyman Goldsmith in response to a correctly-perceived demand for nuclear information at the time by the general public The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is without doubt the most historically significant non-technical publication on the subject of "'global security and public policy issues related to the dangers posed by nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction climate change2 and emerging technologies and diseases". Hence over the years BAS has become a geopolitical instrument rather than a nuclear watchdog alone. Feature articles in this vintage 1948 issue: Message from Albert Einstein; UNAEC; International Control Discussions; Crushing of Genetics in the USSR; Atomic Deadlock; Russian Science & Politics. Writers include Albert Einstein; David F. Cavers; Edward A. Shils; E.M. Friedwald N.F. Mott H.C. Urey M.L. Oliphant; L.C. Dunn; H.J. Muller; Sir Alfred Zimmern; Karl T. Compton; Bernard Brodie.

1936H40351New York: Amateur Astronomers Association 1936. Very good. Old cloth 3-ring binder with acetate sheaths containing the issues. This started out as a 4 pp. periodical but expanded in later issues. In 1936 the journal merged with The Sky published by Hayden Planetarium which subsequently merged with The Telescope in 1941 to become Sky & Telescope which is still being published. Condition is mainly very good although the first three issues we have have some damage to fore-edges. The first issue has a supplementary sheet laid in "Professor Einstein Sends Greetings to the Amateur Astronomers Association" reprinting in facsimile the handwritten note with a printed translation and a facsimile of another note from Einstein. We have Vol. I nos. 1 & 2 April and May 1929; Vol. 2 nos. 1 September 1929 - 9 May-June 1930 -- the April 1930 issue has a cover story on the discovery of Pluto then considered the ninth planet. Pluto was first discovered on February 18 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff Arizona.The discovery was announced on March 13 1930 in the Astronomical Journal.; Vol. III nos. 1 October-November 1930 - 7/8 May-June 1931; Vol. IV nos. 1 September-October 1931 - 8 Summer 1932; Vol. V nos. 1 September-October 1932 - 3 March 1933 -- these expanded to 6 pp. each; Vol. VI nos. 1 - 3 Winter & Spring 1933-1934 - Summer 1934 -- beginning with Vol. VI these are 16 pp. each; with the Spring issue cover story on Hayden Planetarium; Vol. VII nos. 1 Autumn 1934 - 3 Spring 1935; Vol. VIII nos. 1 Autumn 1935 - 3 Spring 1936. We don't know if we're missing any or not but it's a nice early run of this rare astronomical journal. Amateur Astronomers Association unknown

1944182569London: The Jewish Agency for Palestine 1944. First separate edition of Einstein's appeal for Zionism. Einstein was one of the most prominent international supports of Zionism. He argues Palestine is the only place historically spiritually and culturally tied to the Jewish people. Whereas the Arabs with many homelands the Jews have nowhere else to go. Their claims are rooted not in conquest or nationalism but in justice and survival. The article was originally published in the Princeton Herald earlier that year. This publication prints the article alongside other speeches and letters by Einstein extracted from his 1930 About Zionism. Provenance: Jews' College Library London with their shelf mark to the front wrapper and their stamp to the front wrapper verso. Octavo. Original wrappers. Library markings see note a little creased and spotted. A good copy. unknown
