Blue cloth over boards. First Edition. 5" x 7.5", pp. vi, [3] 4-319. This book was first intended as an opportunity for Einstein to financially aid his friend, Infeld. Though it soon became a joy for him to share physics in near layman's words as if the reader were seated before him in a classroom. "The theory of relativity dedu…ces, from its fundamental assumption, an answer again of a quantitative character: all energy resists change of motion; all energy behaves like matter." (p 207). Very good with a few edge smudges, previousl bookseller inventory number in pencil, otherwise a clean, firm edition G+ protected by mylar which has been taped to inside flaps, thumb print size chip at top edge, tide mark on spine and some edgewear.

Contact seller4-star sellerFIRST EDITION, THIRD PRINTING. Original cloth; interior clean. A newspaper article pasted onto the paste-down plus the flaps from the dust jacket pasted in. Ownership signature of Charles Schuchert (1858-1942), American paleontologist that was the leader in the development of paleogeography on the fly-leaf. First edition, third…printing. Intended as an explanation of the totality of Einstein's accomplishments for the layperson, the publication of this extraordinarily successful work was also used in an attempt to find Infeld a university position (he eventually ended up in Canada). According to the preface, "the book is a simple chat between you and us. You may find it boring or interesting, dull or exciting, but our aim will be accomplished if these pages give you some idea of the eternal struggle of the inventive human mind for a fuller understanding of the laws governing physical phenomena." Weil, 201.
