AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A first edition (1940) of The World As I See It, the authorized English translation of Mein Weltbild by Albert Einstein. Published by Watts & Co., London, this volume forms part of the renowned Thinker’s Library series (No. 79), a British collection (1929–1951) aimed at making influential works in philosophy and science accessible to a wider audience.
Rather than focusing purely on physics, the book presents a selection of essays and reflections in which Einstein explores themes such as peace, democracy, religion, and his broader philosophical outlook on life and the universe.
The edition features the characteristic cloth binding of the series, typically in a faded orange-brown tone, often bearing the iconic “Thinker” motif inspired by The Thinker.
Condition:
Good to Very Good condition overall. The binding remains firm, with all pages securely attached and internal hinges in excellent condition. Light spotting is present on some pages, along with minor fading to the spine, consistent with age. The outer cover is in good condition.
Note:
-Some lines within the text are underlined in blue pen.
-Shipping costs are paid by the buyer and depend on destination. Shipping is available to Europe and the United Kingdom.
