This volume also features one other paper by Einstein; all of these Weil considers important. The third is the first on special relativity: "the three papers... contributed to a single issue of the Annalen der Physik - one important to take him into the history books [on Brownian motion] one which helped to bring him the Nobel Prize sixteen years later [on Photoelectric effect], and the third containing the outline of The Special Theory of Relativety" Robert P.Libbon, The Ultimate Einstein, 1997.
