Book Reviews of The World As I See It
Book Review: A compilation of Einstein's early, non-scientific writings
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is the English translation of selections from Mein Weltbild, which is a collection of Einstein's writings from the period of 1922 to 1933. It does not contain any of his scientific writings. The selections are grouped according to; The world As I See It, Politics and Pacifism, Germany 1933, and The Jews. For the most part these selections are from letters and brief memorial pieces. Unfortunately, there are no editorial comments to identify some of the people mentioned in these pieces, so the reader is left to do a considerable amount of research to make some of them very meaningful. The Germany 1933 section deals almost exclusively with an exchange of letters concerning Einstein's leaving Germany and his renunciation of the German citizenship that was bestowed on him when he took an academic position in Berlin (he retained his Swiss citizenship and considered himself Swiss, in spite of having been born German).
A good book for those deeply interested in Einstein, but of more limited interest to others.
