The Nazi Enabling Act was passed in March as Einstein travelled back to Europe, and on arriving in Antwerp he officially renounced his German citizenship. After a short stay in Belgium he toured the UK, during which time he was presented with an honorary doctorate by the University of Glasgow, where he gave this non-technical talk on the 20th of June. In October Einstein returned to the US and joined Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study, where he spent the remainder of his career.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e12-page wire-stitched pamphlet; ink ownership signature to title, a little light spotting to the contents, minor crease affecting the wrappers and contents, staples a little rusty, excellent condition.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"EINSTEIN, Albert.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57631522029943,"sku":"124211","price":2393.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/4694\/1233\/files\/124211_01.jpg?v=1792616086","url":"https:\/\/shapero.com\/en-us\/products\/einstein-origins-general-theory-relativity-offprint-1933-124211","provider":"Shapero Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
