The resulting book was his uniquely personal \u003ci\u003eAutobiographical Notes\u003c\/i\u003e, a classic work in the history of science that explains the development of his ideas with unmatched warmth and clarity. Hanoch Gutfreund and J rgen Renn introduce Einstein's scientific reflections to today's readers, tracing his intellectual formation from childhood to old age and offering a compelling portrait of the making of a philosopher-scientist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eEinstein on Einstein\u003c\/i\u003e features the full English text of \u003ci\u003eAutobiographical Notes\u003c\/i\u003e along with incisive essays that place Einstein's reflections in the context of the different stages of his scientific life.

Also included are Einstein's responses to his critics, which shed additional light on his scientific and philosophical worldview. Gutfreund and Renn quote extensively from Einstein's initial, unpublished attempts to formulate his response, and also look at another brief autobiographical text by Einstein, written a few weeks before his death, which is published here for the first time in English. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eComplete with evocative drawings by artist Laurent Taudin, \u003ci\u003eEinstein on Einstein\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates the iconic physicist's journey to general relativity while situating his revolutionary ideas alongside other astonishing scientific breakthroughs of the twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hanoch Gutfreund, J?gen Renn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691183600\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691183602\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 8.20w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2020","brand":"Hanoch Gutfreund","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43994387906815,"sku":"9780691183602","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_716547df-9e2f-45fe-9a22-ad990575eafc.jpg?v=1683329849","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/einstein-on-einstein-hanoch-gutfreund-9780691183602","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
