[see attached for complete text] This is a unique collection of essays dealing with the formative years of the young Einstein, most of which have never been published elsewhere. The editors, Stachel & Howard, are among the world's experts on the history of 20th century physics and on Einstein himself, and both are editors of the well-known Einstein Studies Series. Topics in this volume cover Einstein's early readings, his university education, crucial influences that shaped his views on relativity, his youthful vision of a unified foundation for physics, and his personal life: his first wife, love letters, poetry.
