Albert Einstein
Since 1922, Princeton University Press has been honored to publish the work of Albert Einstein (1879‑1955). That year, the Press published Einstein’s The Meaning of Relativity, becoming the first US publisher to produce a book by the the most important scientist of the twentieth century. Based on lectures Einstein delivered at Princeton University in 1921, the book provided an overview of his then-controversial theory of relativity. A foundational book of modern physics, The Meaning of Relativity has been in print ever since its first publication, has been translated into more than fifty languages, and is at the heart of the Press’s science publishing.
