This book highlights the numerous important contributions that Einstein made to physics—aside from his relativity theories—and places each of his achievements in the corresponding context, referring en route to the original sources. There are very few publications devoted to Einstein's work outside of relativity.
Luis Navarro Veguillas (Madrid, 1939) obtained his Ph.D. in Physical Sciences from the University of Barcelona in 1965, where he has developed his academic career. Since 2009, he has been Emeritus professor at the University of Barcelona.His teaching has mainly dealt with classical, quantum, and statistical mechanics. Since 1990, his interest has focused exclusively on the field of History of Physics. He has been Initiator and Lecturer in charge of this discipline since its creation in 1992, until his retirement in 2009.As for his research activity, his initial publications were in the fields of classical mechanics, statistical mechanics, and quantum theory. He has published numerous papers in these fields, and he is the author of books such as Einstein, profeta y hereje (2009, second edition) and El desconocido Einstein (2020), both published by Tusquets Ed. in Spanish.
