| Title | Einstein and the quantum: The Quest of the Valiant Swabian |
| Author(s) | A. Douglas Stone |
| Publication | Princeton, Princeton University Press, 2013. |
| Description | x, 332p. |
| Abstract Note | Einstein and the Quantum reveals for the first time the full significance of Albert Einstein's contributions to quantum theory. Einstein famously rejected quantum mechanics, observing that God does not play dice. But, in fact, he thought more about the nature of atoms, molecules, and the emission and absorption of light--the core of what we now know as quantum theory--than he did about relativity.
A compelling blend of physics, biography, and the history of science, Einstein and the Quantum shares the untold story of how Einstein--not Max Planck or Niels Bohr--was the driving force behind early quantum theory. It paints a vivid portrait of the iconic physicist as he grappled with the apparently contradictory nature of the atomic world, in which its invisible constituents defy the categories of classical physics, behaving simultaneously as both particle and wave. And it demonstrates how Einstein's later work on the emission and absorption of light, and on atomic gases, led directly to Erwin Schrödinger's breakthrough to the modern form of quantum mechanics. The book sheds light on why Einstein ultimately renounced his own brilliant work on quantum theory, due to his deep belief in science as something objective and eternal. |

| Title | Einstein: His Life and Works |
| Author(s) | K.A.I.L. Wijewardena Gamalath |
| Publication | New Delhi, Narosa Publishing House, 2012. |
| Description | ix, 386p. |
| Abstract Note | EINSTEIN: His Life and Works introduces the genius Albert Einstein, gives a detailed biography and expounds his most important scientific theories in an attractive pictorial form. Almost all his scientific works are discussed briefly, based on published articles. The major works, the Annus Mirabilis papers on light quantum hypothesis, molecular dimensions and Brownian motion, mass energy equivalence and special theory of relativity including Minkowskian four dimensional spacetime are discussed in detail. His greatest cosmological theory, the general theory of relativity is presented by introducing equivalence principle and field equation. The gravitational effect on time, length and light are explained using the Schwarzschild solution. His other major contributions to physics as well as his many attempts on unified field theory are also presented. |

| Title | Einstein and Oppenheimer: The meaning of genius |
| Author(s) | Silvan S. Schweber |
| Publication | Cambridge, Harvard University Press, 2008. |
| Description | xiv, 412p. |
| Abstract Note | Albert Einstein and J. Robert Oppenheimer, two iconic scientists of the twentieth century, belonged to different generations, with the boundary marked by the advent of quantum mechanics. By exploring how these men differedâin their worldview, in their work, and in their dayâthis book provides powerful insights into the lives of two critical figures and into the scientific culture of their times. In Einsteinâs and Oppenheimerâs philosophical and ethical positions, their views of nuclear weapons, their ethnic and cultural commitments, their opinions on the unification of physics, even the role of Buddhist detachment in their thinking, the book traces the broader issues that have shaped science and the world. |
