In Brief
This is the first installment of a planned 35-volume edition of Einstein's papers, notes and letters. "The main text, called the document text, is acollection of the original documents with prefaces and footnotes." (Christ Sci Monit) A separately-bound and separately-priced, typescript companion text"provides a translation {by Anna Beck} of all the documents contained in {thehardbound documentary} Volume 1, . . . all but two of which were originally written in German. The {typescript} volume is not self-contained and {is available only to purchasers of the document text}. Most of the introductory matter and all of the editorial headnotes, footnotes, and footnote numbers have been omitted {from the typescript English companion}, as have the figures, illustrations, biographical sketches, appendixes, bibliography, and index, most of which are already presented in English in the documentary {text. Peter Havas served as consultant for the typescript companion}." (Preface of typescript companion) Chronology. Biographies. Bibliography. Index.

From The Publisher
This volume of The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein contains the scientific work Einstein published during the first decade of his career, and includes some of the most significant achievements of twentieth-century physics. The first paper was written in 1900 by the twenty-one-year-old Einstein, newly graduated from the Swiss Federal Polytechnical School, or ETH, in Zurich and still searching in vain for a job. The last paper in this volume is the text of an invited lecture given in 1909 to a major scientific meeting by Einstein after he was appointed to his first academic post at the University of Zurich. He had already been recognized as an important theoretical physicist on the basis of the work reprinted here, particularly the three masterpieces that appeared in quick succession during 1905, Einstein's year of miracles. In one of these papers Einstein showed how one could finally confirm the ancient view that matter is composed of discrete atoms, and even measure the numbers and masses of these atoms. In a second paper, which even he referred to as "very revolutionary," he argued that the observed properties of thermal radiation suggest that it consists not of waves, but rather of localized particles of energy which he called energy quanta. The third and most famous paper set forth the special theory of relativity, solving some long-standing difficulties, but requiring a significant change in our understanding of those basic concepts, space and time.

Annotation
A monumental collection of all the documents, letters, and writings of Einstein--both scientific and personal.

The Reader's Catalog
Volume eight in the collected papers series opens in spring 1914 when Einstein takes up a research professorship at the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin and closes with the collapse of the German Empire four and one-half years later. The breakup of his first marriage and the divorce are presented here for the first time, and new material shows Einstein's evolving political consciousness in light of the war
