Ideas and Opinions — ALBERT EINSTEIN

Ideas and Opinions — ALBERT EINSTEIN
The Folio Society, 2010
Introdução de David Bodanis

Publicada pela primeira vez em 1954, esta coletânea reúne ensaios, artigos e reflexões de ALBERT EINSTEIN sobre os mais diversos temas — da física teórica à liberdade de expressão, da paz mundial à religião. A edição da The Folio Society, lançada em 2010, apresenta o conteúdo organizado em cinco partes temáticas, com base no clássico Mein Weltbild e outros escritos do autor.

Com introdução de David Bodanis e projeto gráfico refinado, esta edição se destaca tanto pelo valor intelectual quanto pelo apuro estético. Impressa em papel Abbey Wove e encadernada pela tradicional Hunter & Foulis, traz capa ilustrada com design de Gavin Morris, desenhada por Chrissie Abbott, e tipografia em Palatino.
