In 1903 despite the vehement objections of his parents Albert Einstein married Mileva Maric the companion colleague and confidante whose influence on his most creative years has given rise to much speculation Beginning in 1897 after Einstein and Maric met as students at the Swiss Federal Polytechnic and ending shortly after their marriage these fiftyfour love letters offer a rare glimpse into Einsteins relationship with his first wife while shedding light on his intellectual development in the period before the annus mirabilis of 1905 Unlike the picture of Einstein the lone isolated thinker of Princeton he appears here both as the burgeoning enfant terrible of science and as an amorous young man beset along with his fiance by financial and personal strugglesamong them the illegitimate birth of their daughter whose existence is known only by these letters Describing his conflicts with professors and other scientists his arguments with his mother over Maric and his difficulty obtaining an academic position after graduation the letters enable us to reconstruct the youthful Einstein with an unprecedented immediacy His love for Maric whom he describes as a creature who is my equal and who is as strong and independent as I am brings forth his serious as well as playful often theatrical nature After their marriage however Maric becomes less his intellectual companion and failing to acquire a teaching certificate she subordinates her professional goals to his In the final letters Einstein has obtained a position at the Swiss Patent Office and mentions their daughter one last time to his wife in Hungary where she is assumed to have placed the girl in the care of relatives Informative entertaining and often very moving this collection of letters captures for scientists and general readers alike a little known yet crucial period in Einsteins life

Was Einsteins first wife his uncredited coauthor unpaid assistant or his unacknowledged helpmeet The real Mileva StoryAlbert Einsteins first wife Mileva EinsteinMaric was forgotten for decades When a trove of correspondence between them beginning in their student days was discovered in 1986 her story began to be told Some of the tellers of the Mileva Story made startling claims that she was a brilliant mathematician who surpassed her husband and that she made uncredited contributions to his most celebrated papers in 1905 including his paper on special relativity This book based on extensive historical research uncovers the real Mileva Story Mileva was one of the few women of her era to pursue higher education in science she and Einstein were students together at the Zurich Polytechnic Milevas ambitions for a science career however suffered a series of setbacksfailed diploma examinations a disagreement with her doctoral dissertation adviser an outofwedlock pregnancy by Einstein She and Einstein married in 1903 and had two sons but the marriage failed Was Mileva her husbands uncredited coauthor unpaid assistant or his essential helpmeet Its tempting to believe that she was her husbands secret collaborator but the authors of Einsteins Wife look at the actual evidence and a chapter by Ruth Lewin Sime offers important historical context The story they tell is that of a brave and determined young woman who struggled against a variety of obstacles at a time when science was not very welcoming to women

Dart nun bei den Heiden bei diesen wirkiich vorbild haften Menschen erscheint uns das Interesse fiir die Person fiir den Namen fiir Gesicht und Gebiirde er iaubt und natiiriich H Hesse Das Giasperienspiel In 1979 the world celebrates the centenary of Albert Einsteins birth This offers an occasion to review his life and his scientific work in retrospect to survey his importance for our time and to look forward to future years of scientific research Undoubtedly Einstein was one of the keyfigures in the intellectual history of our century He influenced physics and philosophy as well as politics The creation of general relativity is one of the greatest scientific achievements of our time as well as the apex of Einsteinss scientific work Its full implications for the other fields of physics have become clear only in recent years The technological possibilities offered by space research have enabled mankind to survey the universe for the first time unhindered by the earths atmosphere This has led to new discoveries and has shown that even some of the farreaching conclusions derived from Einsteins theory are borne out by observation General relativity which has for a long time been viewed as an outsider among physical theories because of its mathematical difficulty and complexity is considered now to be the prototype of theories in the fields of elementary particle physics and even solid state physics

Albert Einstein did not impress his first teachers They found him a dreamy child without an especially promising future But some time in his early years he developed what he called wonder about the world Later in life he remembered two instances from his childhoodhis fascination at age five with a compass and his introduction to the lucidity and certainty of geometrythat may have been the first signs of what was to come From these ordinary beginnings Einstein became one of the greatest scientific thinkers of all time This illuminating biography describes in understandable language the experiments and revolutionary theories that flowed from Einsteins imagination and intellectfrom his theory of relativity which changed our conception of the universe and our place in it to his search for a unified field theory that would explain all of the forces in the universe
