Subtle Is The Lord Abraham Pais Albert Einstein Science Biography Physics Relativity

Subtle is the Lord by Abraham Pais is a substantial scientific biography of Albert Einstein, written by a physicist who knew Einstein personally. Rather than concentrating only on Einstein’s personal life, Pais closely examines the development of his scientific thinking and major contributions to physics, including relativity, quantum theory, statistical physics, gravitation, cosmology and unified field theory. The book combines biography with detailed discussion of the mathematics and physics behind Einstein’s work, making it particularly appealing to readers interested in theoretical physics, history of science and Einstein scholarship. This Oxford paperback copy has some light age related wear and tanning, with a previous owner’s name and date written on the title page as pictured.
