Einstein, Albert. 1916. Relativity: The Special and the General Theory. (Written as a popular account, this book was published in German in
December 1916. An authorized English translation was first published in 1920 by Methuen in London and Henry Holt in New York. It went
through fifteen English-language editions in his lifetime, and he added appendixes up until 1952. It is available now from multiple
publishers. The version I cite is the 1995 Random House edition. The book can be found at www.bartleby.com/173/and at
www.gutenberg.org/etext/5001.)
———. 1922a. The Meaning of Relativity. Princeton: Princeton University Press. (A technical exposition based on his 1921 lectures at
Princeton. The fifth edition, published in 1954, contains an appendix revising his attempt at a unified field theory. The 2005 edition from
Princeton University Press contains an introduction by Brian Greene.)
———. 1922b. Sidelights on Relativity. New York: Dutton.
———. 1922c. “How I Created the Theory of Relativity.” Talk in Kyoto, Japan, Dec. 14. (I have used a new, corrected, and heretofore
unpublished translation. Einstein’s Kyoto talk was published in Japanese in 1923 by theoretical physicist Jun Ishiwara, who was present
and took notes. His version was translated into English by Yoshimasa A. Ono and published in Physics Today in August 1982. This
translation, which has been used by most previous writers on Einstein, is flawed, especially in the parts where Einstein refers to the
Michelson-Morley experiments; see Ryoichi Itagaki, “Einstein’s Kyoto Lecture,”Science magazine, vol. 283, March 5, 1999. A proper and
corrected translation by Prof. Itagaki will appear in a forthcoming volume of CPAE. I am grateful to Gerald Holton for providing me with a
copy of this translation. See also Seiya Abiko, “Einstein’s Kyoto Address,”Historical Studies in the Physical and Biological Sciences 31
(2000): 1–35.)
