Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein (1879–1955) was born in Germany and became an American citizen in 1940. A world-famous theoretical physicist, he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics and is renowned for his Theory of Relativity. In addition to his scientific work, Einstein was an influential humanist who spoke widely about politics, ethics, and social causes. After leaving Europe, Einstein taught at Princeton University. His theories were instrumental in shaping the atomic age.

Reviews for The World as I See It

[G A McKee · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

In the last chapter of this little book, we learn of Albert Einstein’s dedication and commitment to what he sees as his race: the Jewish people. His supremacist yet humane views and hopes for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in the then British Mandate of Palestine are very disturbing to those of us who see Zionism as the cause of the brutality against the Arabs after Einstein died in 1955. He would be rolling in his grave if he knew how his emancipated Jewish people - now members of a separate nation state and succumbed to strident nationalism - were treating Arabs in Gaza and the West Bank in 2024. There is an old saying “the road to hell is paved with good intentions”. Einstein - from my reading of his essays and public addresses on Zionism and a homeland in Palestine - did not envisage a separate militarized nation state with an army and air force to wage war against its neighbors Iraq, Syria, Iran, Lebanon, and Yemen. Einstein envisioned a single state of Palestine shared with the existing and indigenous Arab people who had lived there for hundreds of years and so Palestine was their only home and birthright. What history has taught us after reading Albert Einstein’s humane views on Zionism & Palestine, was that it was a mistake made by the fledging United Nations to partition Palestine in 1948. Before forming more conclusions on this aspect of Einstein’s life I must read more commentaries. In 2024 the issue of Jewishness, Israel and anti-semitism has been dominating the airwaves and news cycle - and this was the issue preoccupying Einstein’s mind in his later years.

This is a very admirable Man and I find it exhilarating to know his opinion in different aspect of his life. Truly a Man of intellect and with strong predisposition! This audiobook is definitely a must listen to.

Einstein's writings on the Palestinian and Israeli issue are so on point (considering the current issues involving both parties)

Albert Einstein, one of the great geniuses, the book is divided into major themes that are very interesting and complex, but you can see Einstein's point of view, which is very good and makes you reflect on various things, for example, the relationships we have with other humans. It's simply brilliant; that is my point of view. (Translated from Spanish)

Grab it if you are interested in the thoughts of one of the Greats. However, you won't find great reflections on life or revolutions in your thinking either. Although who knows... Maybe the "Einsteria" has skewed my opinion of this person. (Translated from Spanish)

At least this one is easier to understand than the theory of relativity. (Translated from Spanish)

[Fcorica · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

The book is divided into three main themes: Zionism, peace, and science. It is complex in certain parts; however, it is very interesting to read in order to understand the mind of this great genius. (Translated from Spanish)
