The World As I See It Review: A Really Good Compilation of Essays and Correspondence of A Non Scientific Nature - This is an enjoyable, tasteful, thoughtful, collection of various correspondence of Albert Einstein. It is not about scientific matters per se. Rather it is about various social issues. Whether one agrees with his positions or not, it provides one with much fuel for contemplation. It is not lengthy. I was very happy with this collection. I am glad to have read it. Thank You. Review: An Intellectual Giant in many Disciplines - I must admit that the only thing I had read of Einstein was, E=mc2. Nonetheless, this collection of his essays and letters demonstrates that he was brilliant in fields afar from physics. His discussion of politics (both domestic and international), economics, the moral decay of pre-WWII Germany, and the inter-relationships between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam were all acute for his era when the internet did not exist (meaning he had to be very well read), and prescient for our modern day issues. The one disheartening thing I found in his letters was that he openly despised men who served in the military. Einstein asserts that such a man is despicable because rather than resort to tools of the mind to resolve conflict, they resort to the violence and the baser nature of man as animal. Being a long serving professional soldier and scholar, I was crestfallen that man I so admired, would demonstrate his despise for me from his grave. Regardless, acknowledging Einsteins pacifism and the German military ethic of the era in which Einstein was familiar, I at least understood his sentiment. The book remains a good read which I recommend to others. Its analysis of all the topics discussed above are short. It serves as a book that one can read in one setting, pick up and put down for later reading, or return to again and again for future reference. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,199,706 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #89,398 in Schools & Teaching (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (2,817) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.25 x 9 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1494877066 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1494877064 | | Item Weight | 7.7 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 108 pages | | Publication date | January 2, 2014 | | Publisher | CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform | ## Images ![The World As I See It - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51q7BQ4IXzL.jpg) ![The World As I See It - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21YYZ3C1DHL.jpg) ![The World As I See It - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31vxDgpk1xL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Really Good Compilation of Essays and Correspondence of A Non Scientific Nature *by F***Y on December 8, 2024* This is an enjoyable, tasteful, thoughtful, collection of various correspondence of Albert Einstein.

His discussion of politics (both domestic and international), economics, the moral decay of pre-WWII Germany, and the inter-relationships between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam were all acute for his era when the internet did not exist (meaning he had to be very well read), and prescient for our modern day issues.

It was clearly stated before clicking 'BUY' that all writings regarding hard science had been edited out of this book, so it's not like I wasn't warned. But the editor could have included a short explanatory chapter -- perhaps written by a third party -- that would've given us some insight into what that ground-breaking theory is/was about. And then there's the atomic bomb. There's a huge gap between Einstein's writings regarding pacifism and the unexplained common-knowledge that it was he who whispered into FDR's ear: "We need a WMD"; somehow we just leap-frogged over WWII altogether. But especially satisfying were the paragraphs regarding Einstein's views regarding God, Judaism and organized religion, and world socialism. Apparently much that has been attributed to him (probably by the right -- a group to which I admittedly belong) regarding the existence of God was lifted out of context and spun. To say more about that here would become near to being a spoiler alert, so I'll leave it at that. But I will say this: Einstein's views regarding God and a Supreme Being do not clash with those of Deepak Chopra's, which is probably why you'll find Einstein referenced in several of Deepak's writings. All in all, highly recommended for those who are curious about what made Albert Einstein tick. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/15648441-the-world-as-i-see-it](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/15648441-the-world-as-i-see-it) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
