Einshtein. Izobreteniia i eksperiment - Frenkel' V.Ia., Iavelov B.E.

This book highlights the little-known field of Albert Einstein's work --- his design and inventive work and experimental works. The book tells that the great theoretical physicist all his life paid attention to purely practical, applied tasks related to the current technological progress: engaged in the construction of an electrometer, refrigeration machines, magnetic hydrodynamic pump, gyroscopic compasses, automatic camera, hearing aid, etc., as well as experimenting --- from offering relevant experiments to working on them directly --- setting up devices and measurements on them. The second edition was supplemented with materials about Einstein's youth and his doctoral thesis, the results of which had a noticeable impact on the development of many fields of physics, technology and industry. The book is addressed to a wide range of readers interested in the history of science and technology, as well as the life and activities of A. Einstein.
