Selected Websites
(from the book Einstein by Peter D. Smith)
The website of the Albert Einstein Archive,
part of the Jewish National & University Library, at the Hebrew
University of Jerusalem. Ze'ev Rosenkranz's book Albert Through
the Looking-Glass: The Personal Papers of Albert Einstein (Jerusalem,
1998) offers a fascinating glimpse of the materials in the Archive,
with many photographs and facsimiles of documents. This excellent
website has biographical information, bibliographical resources
and even a kids' page:
www.albert-einstein.org
This is the website for Living Reviews in
Relativity, an online journal on the science of relativity produced
by The Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert
Einstein Institute), Potsdam
(www.aei-potsdam.mpg.de/about/index.html).
The serious student of Einstein can search and access articles
on many aspects of the science.
www.livingreviews.org
Website for the NOVA program Einstein Revealed,
originally broadcast in October 1996. Includes games, articles,
and teachers' notes:
www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/einstein
Details of Einstein's life in Princeton:
www.princetonhistory.org/einstein/index.html
From this page you can view and download
Einstein's FBI files. Well worth a visit:
http://foia.fbi.gov/einstein.htm
Good biographical site with many photographs
set up by the American Institute of Physics:
www.aip.org/history/einstein
School of Mathematics and Statistics at the
University of St Andrews, Scotland.
Explains the mathematical context to the science with pages on
many key figures in the story of relativity:
