Description: Albert Einstein - Chief Engineer of the Universe: One Hundred Authors and Context (2) Albert Einstein - Chief Engineer of the Universe: One Hundred Authors for Einstein and Einstein’s Life and Work in Context edited by Jurgen Renn The two book set features a unique look at Albert Einstein, plenty of history with lots of charming stories, interesting information, and exhaustive research. In 1905, Albert Einstein published five scientific articles that fundamentally changed the world-view of physics: The Special Theory of Relativity revolutionized our concept of space and time, E=mc² became the best-known equation in physics. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his "annus mirabilis" 1905, the UNESCO declared the year 2005 the "World Year of Physics", in order to draw attention to the impact of physics. The Max Planck Institute for the history of science dedicates an exhibition in the Kronprinzenpalais in Berlin to the probably most important scientist of the 20th century. In this book, 100 authors explain the historical background of Einstein's life and work, shed light on many different aspects of his biography, and on the scientific fields and topics that are connected to Einstein's work. The authors are some of the most renowned Einstein researchers in the world, such as Jürgen Ehlers, Peter Galison, Zeev Rosenkranz, John Stachel and Robert Schulmann.
