Overview

This book presents an account of all aspects of Einstein's achievements in quantum theory, his own views, and the progress his work has stimulated since his death. While some chapters use mathematics at an undergraduate physics level, a path is provided for the reader more concerned with ideas than equations, and the book will benefit to anybody interested in Einstein and his approach to the quantum.

Reviews

From the reviews: <p> The book is serious, competent, and most engaging. Its declared aim is a reappraisal of Einsteina (TM)s critical attitude toward quantum theory. a ] I recommend Einsteina (TM)s Struggles with Quantum Theory to physicists who are interested in their past and to historians and philosophers who are curious about todaya (TM)s quantum physics. (Tilman Sauer, Physics Today, May, 2008) <p> This fascinating book presents and defends Einsteina (TM)s work on quantum theory. a ] Let me sum up by saying that I recommend this book in the very highest of terms: Home and Whitaker have produced a wonderful book that will appeal to physicists, historians, and philosophers alike. a ] Indeed, this book constitutes an excellent argument for quantum foundations research. Furthermore, although nominally about Einsteina (TM)s views, given its range, simplicity, and clarity I think it would make an excellent a ~first encountera (TM) with quantum theory.
