Einstein 1905: The Standard of Greatness

Buy
Einstein 1905: The Standard of Greatness, 9780674021044 (0674021045), Harvard University Press, 2006
This book celebrates Albert Einstein’s 1905. In six months Einstein wrote five papers that deeply influenced the course of twentieth-century science. These papers from the hand of a thenunknown physicist make 1905 one of the most memorable years in the history of science and, without doubt, make the six months from March 17 to September 27 the most productive six months any scientist ever enjoyed. Einstein’s 1905 papers spoke for themselves then and now, and they have influenced a vast body of physical research during the intervening decades.

In any celebration the emphasis is on the positive. Einstein has grown to almost mythic proportions, which challenges any author writing about him to avoid expanding the myth by making more of him than is justified, but also to avoid contracting the myth by yielding to the seductive temptation to bring greatness down to size. Both giant makers and giant killers respond to their respective tasks with enthusiasm.
