Title: Early articles on Special Relativity by Albert Einstein, in five bound volumes of Annalen der Physik Author: Einstein, Albert Place: Leipzig Publisher: Verlag von Johann Ambrosius Barth Date: 1906-1909 Description: 5 volumes, Bands 21, 23, 26, 27, and 28. Some illustrations, diagrams, etc. (8vo) 20.5x13.5 cm (8¼x5½”), period morocco-backed cloth. Includes the following articles: Band 21 – Ueber eine Methode zur Bestimmung (W14). Determining how the mass of electron changes with velocity. Band 23 – Uebe die Moeglichkeit einer neuen Pruefung (W17) & Beneerkungen zu der Notiz (W18) & Ueber die vom Relativitatsprinzip (W19). First is about Doppler effect and method for testing relativity theory; second relates to electron and its changing shape during motion; third is determination of E=mc2. Bands 26 through 28. Ueber die elektromagnetischen Grundgleichungen (W22 & its correction in v 27 = W26) & Ueber die in electronmagnetischen Felde (W23) & one other paper (W27). First is “fundamental equations of the electromagnetism of moving bodies” = Relativity and Maxwell’s equations. Second (W23) is Relativity and ponderomotive effect, E here postulating perfect duality between electric and magnetic quantities.
