"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new": First edition of Albert Einstein's Out of My Later Years
First edition of Einstein's collection of social science-related articles, addresses and speeches. Octavo, original cloth, frontispiece of Einstein. very good in a very good price-clipped dust jacket with bumping and chipping to the rear panel.
Out of My Later Years (1950) is the second and final collection of essays assembled by Albert Einstein (1879-1955), the German-born theoretical physicist whose Special and General Theories of Relativity revolutionized modern thought on the nature of space and time and whose Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his explanation of the photoelectric effect confirmed his standing as the most celebrated scientist of the twentieth century. Drawing on Einstein's articles, addresses, letters, and assorted papers across a fifteen-year period from 1934 to 1950, the volume encompasses his personal convictions on religious and humanitarian issues in the wake and aftermath of the Second World War, alongside reflections on scientific method, the philosophy of physics, education, and the moral responsibilities of scientists in the atomic age that Einstein's own theories had helped to bring into being.
