Letters on Wave Mechanics: Correspondence with H. A. Lorentz, Max Planck, and Er

<p><b>A lively collection of Einstein's groundbreaking scientific correspondence on modern physics</b> <p/> Imagine getting four of the greatest minds of modern physics in a room together to explain and debate the theories and innovations of their day. This is the fascinating experience of reading <i>Letters on Wave Mechanics</i>, the correspondence between H. A. Lorentz, Max Planck, Erwin Schrödinger, and Albert Einstein. <p/> These remarkable letters illuminate not only the basis of Schrödinger's work in wave mechanics, but also how great scientific minds debated and challenged the ever-changing theories of the day and ultimately embraced an elegant solution to the riddles of quantum theory. Their collected correspondence offers insight into both the personalities and professional aspirations that played a part in this theoretical breakthrough. <p/> This authorized book features rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the Albert Einstein Archives at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Albert Einstein<br><b>Publisher:</b> Philosophical Library/Open Road<br><b>Published:</b> 10/20/2015<br><b>Pages:</b> 122<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.36lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.29d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781453204689<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><p>Albert Einstein (1879-1955) was born in Germany and became an American citizen in 1934.
