NOTES

Read by Quentin Cooper

This audiobook narrated by Quentin Cooper brings Einstein's public writings vividly to life, covering topics ranging from religion and art to pacifism and the atomic bomb The Essential Einstein: Public Writings presents a rich selection of Einstein's humanistic writings drawn from a diverse array of materials he sanctioned for publication during his lifetime. Distinct from previous collections, this incisive book presents previously excerpted works in their entirety, including key articles, lectures, and speeches. These writings delve into significant topics such as philosophy, religion, and art, but also specific important and often contentious issues in education, politics, disarmament, pacifism, international cooperation, the atomic bomb, and Zionism. Among these works, readers will find the brilliant "Notes for an Autobiography" alongside selected popular science articles, which offer a profound understanding of Einstein's ethical and political worldview. The Essential Einstein is a two-volume compendium offering general readers and specialists alike a comprehensive resource on the pivotal writings of Albert Einstein. Organized chronologically by leading authorities on Einstein and his work, this collection illuminates the evolution of Einstein's scientific and humanistic ideas throughout his life. Each selection is accompanied by explanatory notes that detail the work's background and significance. Together with The Essential Einstein: Scientific Writings, this authoritative collection invites a deeper engagement with the intellectual legacy and enduring influence of Albert Einstein
