{"product_id":"the-cambridge-companion-to-einstein-michel-janssen-9780521535427","title":"The Cambridge Companion to Einstein","description":"This volume is the first systematic presentation of the work of Albert Einstein, comprised of fourteen essays by leading historians and philosophers of science that introduce readers to his work. Following an introduction that places Einstein's work in the context of his life and times, the book opens with essays on the papers of Einstein's \"miracle year,\" 1905, covering Brownian motion, light quanta, and special relativity, as well as his contributions to early quantum theory and the opposition to his light quantum hypothesis. Further essays relate Einstein's path to the general theory of relativity (1915) and the beginnings of two fields it spawned, relativistic cosmology and gravitational waves. Essays on Einstein's later years examine his unified field theory program and his critique of quantum mechanics. The closing essays explore the relation between Einstein's work and twentieth-century philosophy, as well as his political writings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michel Janssen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521535425\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521535427\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/19\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 575\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2015 pg. 847","brand":"Michel Janssen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981002539263,"sku":"9780521535427","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_85be7c9d-e05b-4d0e-a293-8ebc363f1cc0.jpg?v=1683253124","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cambridge-companion-to-einstein-michel-janssen-9780521535427","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
