About the book >.>.> Diana Kormos Buchwald the general editor of Einstein’s papers read this book meticulously and made copious comments and corrections through many drafts. In addition she helped me get early and complete access to the wealth of new Einstein papers that became available in 2006 and guided me through them. She was also a gra- cious host and facilitator during my trips to the Einstein Papers Project at Caltech. She has a passion for her work and a delightful sense of humor which would have pleased her subject. Two of her associates were also very helpful in guiding me through the newly available papers as well as untapped riches in the older archival material. Tilman Sauer who likewise checked and annotated this book in particular vetted the sections on Einstein’s quest for the equations of general relativity and his pursuit of a unified field theory. Ze’ev Rosenkranz the historical editor of the papers provided insights on Ein- stein’s attitudes toward Germany and his Jewish heritage. He was for- merly curator of the Einstein archives at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Barbara Wolff who is now at those archives at Hebrew University did a careful fact-checking of every page of the manuscript making fastidious corrections large and small. She warned that she has a rep?- tation as a nitpicker but I am very grateful for each and every nit she found. I also appreciate the encouragement given by Roni Grosz the curator there. (SP)
