Condizione: FINE. First printing. A completely unabridged translation in modern English of this classic work in the history of modern science by Stillman Drake, based on Galileo's own copy of the first edition, with his notations. Unusual for the time, this was written in Italian, rather than Latin, because it was intended to reach the public, not just scholars. As a punishment Galileo suffered imprisonment, but he used that time to add passages to the Dialogue - passages which are included in this volume for the first time in English. The foreword by Albert Einstein - in which he comments "In advocating and fighting for the Copernican theory Galileo was not only motivated by a striving to simplify the representation of the celestial motions. His aim was to substitute for a petrified and barren system of ideas the unbiased and strenuous quest for a deeper and more consistent comprehension of the physical and astronomical facts." - appears in both the original German and in English translation by Sonja Bargmann. Illustrated witha frontispiece portrait and with the original title page. Notes, index. xxvii, 496 pp. Very near fine in cranberry cloth with a paper title label on the spine in a near fine dustjacket (hint of an erasure on the front endpaper, toning to the dj, small chip at the top of the spine.).

First edition of this work praised by Einstein himself. Octavo, original cloth, illustrations by Anthony Sadoro. Presentation copy, warmly inscribed by the author to Anne Goodman on the front free endpaper, "For Anne Goodman- who was on the receiving end of the first interview this reporter ever gave and the pleasantest one he ever participated in- Gratefully Lincoln Barnett New York City- March 3, 1949." Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Jacket design by William Meek. Foreword by Albert Einstein. Rare and desirable signed and inscribed. In the century since the publication of the special theory of relativity, there remains a tendency to venerate Einstein's genius without actually understanding his achievement. This book offers the opportunity to truly comprehend the workings of one of humanity's greatest minds. Acclaimed by Einstein himself, it is among the clearest, most readable expositions of relativity theory. It explains the problems Einstein faced, the experiments that led to his theories, and what his findings reveal about the forces that govern the universe. The concepts of relativity and the fourth dimension unfold with all the vivid excitement of research into the unknown, in language anyone can readily understand.
