Preparation for print publication of volumes 17, 18, and 19 of the writings, lectures, and letters of scientist Albert Einstein (1879-1955). (36 months)

The Einstein Papers Project at Caltech publishes the Collected Papers of Albert Einstein, a multi-volume series that appears in print and is also freely available online, in both a documentary and an English language translation edition. Fifteen double volumes and a comprehensive index volume have been published so far. The edition will include all of his writings, as well as all incoming and outgoing correspondence. Einstein is undoubtedly the most significant and revolutionary modern scientist. He was also a major figure in European and American history, culture, and politics. The edition is now entering the transition years 1930-1933, when the rise of fascism in Germany compelled Einstein to leave Europe and seek refuge in the United States. We seek support for work on three English translation volumes containing more than 1,700 documents as full text and covering this period and their online presentation.

Abstract: In the almost one hundred writings and more than one thousand letters included in this volume, Einstein is revealed yet again as the consummate puzzler of myriad scientific problems as well as the invested participant in social and political engagements. He continues to explore the light quantum, whose reality is confirmed by new experiments, and to attempt to formulate a unified theory of gravitation and electromagnetism. He travels to South America, where he lectures widely on relativity, rejoins the International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation, and supports the idea of a European union. Einstein has a fourteen-month romantic relationship with his secretary, Betty Neumann, which ends in October 1924.
