One of the world's greatest minds addresses religion and science, war and peace, and the treatment of minorities in this authorized collection. In the aftermath of the First World War, Albert Einstein writes about his hopes for the League of Nations, his feelings as a German citizen about the growing anti-Semitism and nationalism of his country, and his myriad opinions about the current affairs of his day. In addition to these political perspectives, The World As I See It reveals the idealistic, spiritual, and witty side of this great intellectual as he approaches topics including "Good and Evil," "Religion and Science," "Active Pacifism," "Christianity and Judaism," and "Minorities." Including letters, speeches, articles, and essays written before 1935, this collection offers a complete portrait of Einstein as a humanitarian and as a human being trying to make sense of the changing world around him. This authorized ebook features a new introduction by Neil Berger, PhD, and an illustrated biography of Albert Einstein, which includes rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the Albert Einstein Archives at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.… (more)

The book might serve as a good starting point for being familiar with Einstein's ideas about politics, humanity, Jewish community, and the like matters. Those who are willing to read the book must consider that it is just a collection of some letters and other writings by Einstein. (

Firstly no human visage is appealing when spread across an entire bookcover, i'm assuming the person who bought me this did so online ;) .

This is fairly worthless, so random, a collection of letters and speeches, it is so tied to its time period in the worst way. Mind numbingly repetitive aswell. The few interesting ideas are told over and over again in various letters with only slight variation until they lose all meaning.

Only the minor traces of sexism or racism doing anything to break the boredom. This collection takes place entirely in the 30's so missing a rather large event in Einstein's (and everyone elses) life.

I don't know if Einstein ever had any interesting opinions but if he did they must be in a different book :P . (

This book is why he is my hero. You don't have to understand physics it's a sory of life as the title says (

Sborník statí, ve kterých autor vyslovuje své filozofické a politické názory, obsahuje rovněž odborné statě týkající se nejenom teoretické fyziky, ale také etiky vědeckého bádání.

Book description

Il volume raccoglie insieme due opere tra le più note del grande scienziato: l'eccezionale scoperta che apriva alla scienza nuovi orizzonti di ricerca e sperimentazione verso rivoluzionarie creazioni e i dubbi, gli interrogativi, i pensieri dell'uomo che ha dato nuove leggi fisiche all'universo, non solo sul modo di concepire lo spazio e il tempo, ma sull'alternativa tra progresso e autodistruzione che oggi si pone ai popoli della terra. Due opere per conoscere Einstein: lo scienziato che ha rivoluzionato la nostra idea del tempo e dello spazio, l'uomo dal grande impegno civile, preoccupato per le sorti dell'umanità.
