Einstein Albert. Ideas and Opinions

Fifth Printing. - New York: Crown Publishers, Inc, 1960. - 377 p.Based on Mein Welstbild. Edited by Carl Seelig, and other sources. New translations and revisions by Sonja Bargmann.PUBLISHER'S NOTE:
Ideas and Opinions represents an attempt to gather together, so far as is possible, in one volume the most important of Albert Einstein's general writings. Until now there have been three major collections of articles, speeches, statements, and letters by Einstein: The World As I See It, translated by Alan Harris, published in 1934; Out of M.y Later Years (1950), containing material from 1934 to 1950; and M.ein Weltbild, edited by Carl Seelig, published in Switzerland in 1953, which contains certain new materials not included in either of the other collections.Ideas and Opinions contains in the publisher's opinion the most important items from the three above-mentioned books, a few selections from other publications, and new articles that
have never been published in book form before. It was only with the very kind cooperation of Carl Seelig and Europa Verlag of Zurich and the help of Professor Einstein himself that it was
possible to assemble this collection of Einstein's writings from the earliest days to addresses of only a few weeks ago.Special thanks must be given to Helen Dukas who facilitated the gathering of these articles and to Sonja Bargmann whose contribution is major: she checked and revised previous transla-
tions, provided new translations for all other articles not specifically credited. participated in the selection and editing of the entire volume and influenced her husband, Valentine Bargmann, to write the introduction to Part V, Contributions to Science.Acknowledgments should be made also to the various publishers who made availahle articles copyrighted by them and whose names may be found with the articles.Ideas and Opinions.
