This volume the first in the series to be devoted to Einsteins correspondence begins in June 1902 when he went to work at the Swiss Patent Office It closes in March 1914 as Einstein left Switzerland to take up his appointment as a member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin The great majority of the more than 500 letters from and to Einstein presented here have not been published before and some of them will be new even to most Einstein scholars They give us a much richer picture of Einstein in his twenties and early thirties than we have ever had We see him through his correspondence with his mother his wife Mileva and from 1912 on his cousin Elsa who would later become his second wife He maintains close ties with old friends but his circle widens particularly after 1906 to include a number of his contemporaries in physics such as Max Laue and Paul Ehrenfest He also develops important relationships with older theoristsMax Planck Arnold Sommerfeld and especially H A Lorentz The letters in this volume clarify the development of his academic career once he leaves the Patent Office in 1909 and bring out the important parts played by such staunch supporters of Einstein as Alfred Kleiner Fritz Haber and above all Walther Nernst Most significant however is the way the letters document crucial aspects of Einsteins scientific activity his concentration for years on the unfathomable problems of quanta and radiation his extensive knowledge of experimental physics his many fruitful interactions with experimentalists and finally his long struggle to generalize the 1905 theory of relativity to include gravitation and accelerated frames of reference

This volume of The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein presents Einsteins writings for the twoyear period starting in October 1909 The initial date marks Einsteins departure from the Swiss Patent Office at Bern which had been his professional home for seven years and the beginning of his first academic appointment at the University of Zurich The volume concludes with the masterful report that Einstein by then a full professor at the Germanlanguage university in Prague gave to the original Solvay Congress the first international meeting devoted to the problems of radiation and the quantum theory Most of Einsteins efforts during these years went into his struggle with these ever more perplexing problems of quanta on which he made discouragingly little progress Einsteins new academic career naturally required him to teach and almost half of this volume consists of the previously unpublished notes he wrote in preparation for his lectures on mechanics on electricity and magnetism and on kinetic theory and statistical mechanics The last of these are particularly interesting in reflecting some of his research interests Several papers here are concerned with aspects of the special theory of relativity but it is Einsteins article of June 1911 that is a harbinger of things to come it contains his calculation of the bending of light in a gravitational field on the basis of his equivalence principle Martin J Klein is Bass Professor of the History of Science and Professor of Physics at Yale University and Senior Editor of The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein A J Kox teaches history of science at the University of Amsterdam Jürgen Renn is Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Physics at Boston University and Robert Schulmann is Assistant Professor of History at Boston University

Presented in this volume are Albert Einsteins writings from his arrival in Berlin in the spring of 1914 to take up his new position at the Prussian Academy of Sciences through the end of 1917 During these years he completed the general theory of relativitythe relativistic theory of gravitationand this was surely the high point of his scientific life His writings on relativity in this volume range from general treatments of the theory to detailed calculations of specific consequences and his first attempt at a relativistic account of cosmology They also include his popular exposition of the special and general theories first published in 1917 and still a valuable account for the general reader As soon as the difficulties on the path to general relativity had been overcome Einstein returned to the riddles of the quantum theory His major clarification of the quantum theory of radiation appears here along with his lesser known contribution to the formulation of quantum conditions This volume also contains the papers describing Einsteins only experimental investigation a study of Ampères molecular currents which he carried out with the Dutch physicist W J de Haas Before the beginning of World War I Einstein had never expressed his views on nonscientific subjects Yet one of his first reactions to this previously unthinkable general war was to sign an Appeal to Europeans urging an immediate end to hostilities Every document in The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein appears in the language in which it was written
