  This volume of news articles from Einstein’s first trip to America explores his rise a public figure and the creation of his celebrity persona. 
   
  When a British expedition confirmed Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity in 1919, the news catapulted the German physicist to global fame. Two years later, he joined a fund-raising tour through the United States—a country he’d never seen before—gathering support for the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His lectures in New York, Princeton, and Chicago, and comments on the Jewish presence in Palestine, made Einstein one of the first media stars.  
   
  In Albert Meets America, József Illy presents a fascinating compilation of media stories written during Einstein’s trip that cover his science, his Zionism, and the anti-Semitism he encountered. Traveling with Einstein from headline to headline, readers experience his emotional connection with American Jews and his frustration at becoming world famous even though his theories were not truly understood. 
   
  This collection gives readers an intimate glimpse into the life of one of the world’s first modern celebrities and a unique understanding of the media’s power over both its subject and its audience.

  Types of UFOs Observed in History

  My goal in this book is to show the different types of UFOs reported throughout history and today. 
  I’m not trying to prove whether these ships are real or not. I just thought that given the many thousands of sightings of UFOs there should be some commonalities between the sightings. 
  Some of the questions I want to answer include: 
  Are there any trends in these sightings? 
  Is there an evolution in the design of these vehicles over time? 
  Are there some common designs over time? 
  Also, some of the UFOs sighted are likely fakes or secret projects built by the US government. I tried to show that information too. 
  Just due to the number of stars in our galaxy I’m convinced that Aliens exist and have probably visited our planet thousands or even millions of year in the past-in addition to visiting in the present. 
  This collection of historical photos, drawings, and descriptions should provide you with a narrative as to how these sightings have changed over time.
