Einstein`s lengthy itinerary consisted of stops in Hong Kong & Singapore, two brief stays in China, a six-week whirlwind lecture tour of Japan, a twelve-day tour of Palestine, & a three-week visit to Spain. This handsome edition makes available the complete journal that Einstein kept on this momentous journey. The telegraphic-style diary entries record Einstein`s musings on science, philosophy, art, & politics, as well as his immediate impressions & broader thoughts on such events as his inaugural lecture at the future site of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, a garden party hosted by the Japanese Empress, an audience with the King of Spain, & meetings with other prominent colleagues & statesmen.
