{\it Einstein from 'B' to 'Z'} is a unique collection of essays on A. Einstein that have been written by John Stachel, a physicist and historian of science of renown. Stachel has written about Einstein---the man, his philosophy, and his work---for more than 40 years.
Key features of this volume:
* comprehensive introduction tying together themes throughout the papers
* covers multiple viewpoints of Einstein
* includes previously unpublished papers in which a new view of Einstein will emerge
* examines recent documentation and studies of Einstein's activity during his formative years
This work will be of particular interest to historians of 20th century science, students and practitioners of physics, and the apparently large section of the general reading public that continues to be fascinated with Einstein.
