About the Book

[see attached] {\it Einstein from 'B' to 'Z'} is a unique collection of essays on A. Einstein that have been written by John Stachel, a physicist and historian of science of renown. Stachel has written about Einstein---the man, his philosophy, and his work---for more than 40 years. Key features of this volume: * comprehensive introduction tying together themes throughout the papers * covers multiple viewpoints of Einstein * includes previously unpublished papers in which a new view of Einstein will emerge * examines recent documentation and studies of Einstein's activity during his formative years This work will be of particular interest to historians of 20th century science, students and practitioners of physics, and the apparently large section of the general reading public that continues to be fascinated with Einstein.

Review :
"This book is really a collection of essays on Einstein's life and, as the title suggests, does not try to offer a complete picture of the great man. The essays are independent so you can read them in any order and, indeed, I found it easier to read them by looking at the essay titles and choosing the one that caught my eye. ...It is clear that this is a very well researched book by a man who has written about Einstein and his work for over forty years and is the current Director of the Boston University Centre for Einstein Studies. The book does manage to paint a human picture of Einstein rather than try to build on the popular legend and there is no doubt that it will be used by historians as well as mathematicians and natural scientists as one of the most reliable studies of the man. It is the sort of book that one would expect to find in the library of all schools and universities." --The Mathematical Gazette "This welcome addition to the Einstein Studies book series presents a collection of selected articles and talks on Albert Einstein prepared over the past 25 years by John Stachel, the founding editor of the Collected Works of Albert Einstein. ...The articles selected survey the subject from different angles without going into too much technical detail, which makes them accessible to a wide audience of readers. ...The present volume can be recommended as a brief introduction into the life and work of Einstein. Thanks to sensibly provided annotations and references, it may also serve well as a departure point for deeper studies." --Zentralblatt Math
