The complete guide to everything you ever wanted to know about Einstein
This is the single most complete guide to Albert Einstein's life and work for students, researchers, and browsers alike. Written by three leading Einstein scholars who draw on their combined wealth of expertise gained during their work on the Collected Papers of Albert Einstein, this authoritative and accessible reference features more than one hundred entries and is divided into three parts covering the personal, scientific, and public spheres of Einstein’s life.
An Einstein Encyclopedia contains entries on Einstein’s birth and death, family and romantic relationships, honors and awards, educational institutions where he studied and worked, citizenships and immigration to America, hobbies and travels, plus the people he befriended and the history of his archives and the Einstein Papers Project. Entries on Einstein’s scientific theories provide useful background and context, along with details about his assistants, collaborators, and rivals, as well as physics concepts related to his work. Coverage of Einstein’s role in public life includes entries on his Jewish identity, humanitarian and civil rights involvements, political and educational philosophies, religion, and more.
Commemorating the hundredth anniversary of the theory of general relativity, An Einstein Encyclopedia also includes a chronology of Einstein’s life and appendixes that provide information for further reading and research, including an annotated list of a selection of Einstein’s publications and a review of selected books about Einstein.

"A fascinating and exceptionally readable reference volume for anyone interested in Einstein as a personality, scientist, political figure, or humanitarian. The authors make clear how we have come to know what we know about Albert Einstein. They also place him within networks of biographical profiles of family members, friends, romantic interests, teachers, collaborators, and colleagues, discrediting myths of Einstein as a solitary man. This is a valuable resource by three accomplished Einstein scholars."--Mary Jo Nye, author of Blackett: Physics, War, and Politics in the Twentieth Century
