Einstein's 1912 Manuscript on the Special Theory of Relativity

New Paperback Illustrated

Postscript summary

Einstein’s handwritten exposition of the Special Theory of Relativity, which dates from 1912, is a particularly precious document since few scientific manuscripts survive from his early career. Each of its 72 pages is reproduced here with a facing translation; these are preceded by an introduction setting out the history of the document and its importance for understanding both Einstein’s intellectual development and one of modern science’s most revolutionary ideas.
