SUBTLE IS THE LORD

內容簡介

內容簡介 Abraham Pais, a distinguished physicist who knew Einstein both professionally and personally in the last years of his life, presents the definitive scientific biography of the towering figure of twentieth-century science. Combining a profound understanding of Einstein's work with personal recollections from their years of acquaintance, Subtle is the Lord illuminates the man through the development of his scientific thought: his theories of relativity, his work on Brownian motion, and his response to quantum theory. 2005 has been designated "World Year of Physics" to celebrate the publication of Einstein's Theory of Relativity one hundred years ago. In commemoration of this landmark anniversary, Oxford University Press brings Abraham Pais' major work on Einstein's life and work to a whole new generation of readers.Since the death of Albert Einstein in 1955 there have been many books and articles written about the man and a number of attempts to "explain" relativity. Throughout the preparation of this book, Pais has had complete access to the Einstein Archives and the invaluable guidance of the late Helen Dukas--formerly Einstein's private secretaryWritten with Pais' intimate and incomparable knowledge of Einstein, Subtle is the Lord will delight and inspire anyone fascinated by the man whose revolutionary ideas have defined modern physics.
