Free Download Einstein Manifolds by Arthur L. Besse
English | PDF | 1987 | 523 Pages | ISBN : 3540741208 | 45.9 MB
Einstein’s equations stem from General Relativity. In the context of Riemannian manifolds, an independent mathematical theory has developed around them. Recently, it has produced several striking results, which have been of great interest also to physicists. This Ergebnisse volume is the first book which presents an up-to-date overview of the state of the art in this field. "Einstein Manifold"s is a successful attempt to organize the abundant literature, with emphasis on examples. Parts of it can be used separately as introduction to modern Riemannian geometry through topics like homogeneous spaces, submersions, or Riemannian functionals.

Free Download Quantum : Einstein, Bohr and the Great Debate About the Nature of Reality By Manjit Kumar
2008 | 480 Pages | ISBN: 1848310293 | PDF | 3 MB
Quantum theory is weird. As Niels Bohr said, if you weren’t shocked by quantum theory, you didn’t really understand it. For most people, quantum theory is synonymous with mysterious, impenetrable science. And in fact for many years it was equally baffling for scientists themselves. In this tour de force of science history, Manjit Kumar gives a dramatic and superbly written account of this fundamental scientific revolution.

Free Download Galina Weinstein, "General Relativity Conflict and Rivalries: Einstein’s Polemics with Physicists"
English | ISBN: 144388362X | 2015 | 383 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This book focuses on Albert Einstein and his interactions with, and responses to, various scientists, both famous and lesser-known. It takes as its starting point that the discussions between Einstein and other scientists all represented a contribution to the edifice of general relativity and relativistic cosmology. These scientists with whom Einstein implicitly or explicitly interacted form a complicated web of collaboration, which this study explores, focusing on their implicit and explicit responses to Einstein s work. This analysis uncovers latent undercurrents, indiscernible to other approaches to tracking the intellectual pathway of Einstein to his general theory of relativity. The interconnections and interactions presented here reveal the central figures who influenced Einstein during this intellectual period. Despite current approaches to history presupposing that the efforts of scientists such as Max Abraham and Gunnar Nordström, which differed from Einstein s own views, be relegated to the background, this book shows that they all had an impact on the development of Einstein s theories, stressing the limits of approaches focusing solely on Einstein. As such, General Relativity Conflict and Rivalries proves that the general theory of relativity was not developed as a single, coherent construction by an isolated, brooding individual, but, rather, that it came to fruition through Einstein s conflicts and interactions with other scientists, and was consolidated by his creative processes during these exchanges.

Free Download The Einstein of Money: The Life and Timeless Financial Wisdom of Benjamin Graham by Joe Carlen, Walter Dixon, Gildan Media, LLC
English | 2012 | ISBN: B009J0ER3S | 10 hours and 23 minutes / Format: MP3 / Bitrate: 64 Kbps | 285 Mb
"Even in 2012, Ben Graham is still a hero to me" – Warren Buffett (from the author’s interview with Buffett for The Einstein of Money)
Warren Buffett has repeatedly acknowledged Benjamin Graham, a man he personally studied and worked under, as the primary influence on his investment approach. Indeed, there is a direct line between the record-shattering investing performance of Buffett (and other value investors) and Graham’s life. In six books and dozens of papers, Graham-widely known as the "Dean of Wall Street"-left an extensive account of an investing system that, as Buffett can attest to, actually works!
In The Einstein of Money, author and business consultant Joe Carlen educates the listener on Graham’s most essential wealth-creation concepts (as selected by Buffett himself), while telling the colorful story of Graham’s amazing business career and his multifaceted personal life. As the author shows, Graham was a brilliant innovator in many areas-from devising a new currency to writing a Broadway play. His complex personality combined impeccable professional ethics with a checkered, even wild, romantic life.

Free Download Einstein’s Fridge: How the Difference Between Hot and Cold Explains the Universe by Paul Sen
English | 2021 | ISBN: B08FNDYWGL | MP3@64 kbps | ~11:05:00 | 304 Mb
This entertaining, eye-opening account of how the laws of thermodynamics are essential to understanding the world today – from refrigeration and jet engines to calorie counting and global warming – is "a lesson in how to do popular science right" (Kirkus Reviews).
Einstein’s Fridge tells the incredible epic story of the scientists who, over two centuries, harnessed the power of heat and ice and formulated a theory essential to comprehending our universe. "Although thermodynamics has been studied for hundreds of years…few nonscientists appreciate how its principles have shaped the modern world" (Scientific American). Thermodynamics – the branch of physics that deals with energy and entropy – governs everything from the behavior of living cells to the black hole at the center of our galaxy. Not only that, but thermodynamics explains why we must eat and breathe, how lights turn on, the limits of computing, and how the universe will end.
The brilliant people who decoded its laws came from every branch of the sciences; they were engineers, physicists, chemists, biologists, cosmologists, and mathematicians. From French military engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot to Lord Kelvin, James Joule, Albert Einstein, Emmy Noether, Alan Turing, and Stephen Hawking, author Paul Sen introduces us to all of the players who passed the baton of scientific progress through time and across nations. Incredibly driven and idealistic, these brave pioneers performed groundbreaking work often in the face of torment and tragedy. Their discoveries helped create the modern world and transformed every branch of science, from biology to cosmology.

Free Download Albert Einstein, Creator & Rebel by Banesh Hoffmann, Helen Dukas, Wanda McCaddon
English | 2011 | ISBN: B005KMODCO | Format: M4B / Bitrate: 64 Kbps / 7 hours and 50 minutes | 213 Mb
Written by a friend and scientific collaborator with Albert Einstein, this remarkable study is a model of what a biography of a scientist should be. On these pages, we come to know Albert Einstein as the "backward" child; the academic outcast; the reluctant world celebrity; the exile; the pacifist; the philosopher; the humanitarian; the tragically saddened "father" of the atomic bomb; and above all, the unceasing searcher after scientific truth. At the same time, we are given a superb and essential introduction to the creative process and the concepts that shattered an age-old view of the universe and ushered in a revolution whose reverberations continue to touch us all.

Free Download James Hartle, "Gravity: An Introduction to Einstein’s General Relativity"
English | 2002 | ISBN: 0805386629 | DJVU | pages: 588 | 6.8 mb
The aim of this groundbreaking new book is to bring general relativity into the undergraduate curriculum and make this fundamental theory accessible to all physics majors. Using a "physics first" approach to the subject, renowned relativist James B. Hartle provides a fluent and accessible introduction that uses a minimum of new mathematics and is illustrated with a wealth of exciting applications. The emphasis is on the exciting phenomena of gravitational physics and the growing connection between theory and observation. The Global Positioning System, black holes, X-ray sources, pulsars, quasars, gravitational waves, the Big Bang, and the large scale structure of the universe are used to illustrate the widespread role of how general relativity describes a wealth of everyday and exotic phenomena.
