Einstein's Miraculous Year: Five Papers That Changed the Face of Physics Paperback - 2005
by Albert Einstein; John Stachel (Editor); Foreword by Roger Penrose
After 1905, physics would never be the same. In those 12 months, Einstein shattered many cherished scientific beliefs with five great papers that would establish him as the world's leading physicist. On their 100th anniversary, this book brings those papers together in an accessible format.
First line
To anyone familiar with the history of modern science, the phrase "miraculous year" in the title immediately calls to mind its Latin counterpart "annus mirabilis," long used to describe the year 1666, during which Isaac Newton laid the foundations for much of the physics and mathematics that revolutionized seventeenth-century science.
From the rear cover
"It is particularly remarkable that a single physicist--Albert Einstein--has such extraordinarily deep perceptions of the workings of Nature that he laid foundation stones of . . .[the] twentieth-century revolutions [in physics] in the single year of 1905."--From the foreword by Roger Penrose, Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford
