EPP Senior Editor, Ze'ev Rosenkranz's latest book came out this week. The Travel Diaries of Albert Einstein: South America, 1925 expands upon research Rosenkranz completed for CPAE Volume 14, in which the diary was first published. On Foreword Reviews Meg Nola describes Rosenkranz's "faceted glimpse of Einstein" as "intimate and captivating." Rosenkranz's current book follows his 2018 work which covered another of Einstein's voyages, The Travel Diaries of Albert Einstein: The Far East, Palestine, and Spain, 1922–1923.
The latest book, pictured at left, "features stunning facsimiles of the diary’s pages accompanied by an English translation, an extensive historical introduction, numerous illustrations, and editorial annotations. Supplementary materials include letters, postcards, statements, and speeches as well as a chronology, a bibliography, and an index." Discover more about the book on the Princeton University Press website.
