This volume covers one of the most thrilling two-year periods in twentieth-century physics, as matrix mechanics--developed chiefly by W. Heisenberg, M. Born, and P. Jordan--and wave mechanics--developed by E. Schrödinger--supplanted the earlier quantum theory. The almost one hundred writings by Einstein, of which a third have never been published, and the more than thirteen hundred letters show Einstein's immense productivity and hectic pace of life.

"This huge volume holds many surprises for readers, even those familiar with much of the recent literature on Einstein's science, politics, and public life."---David E. Rowe, Metascience
