This is an incredibly well researched, detailed account of all aspects of Einstein's life, personal, scientific and political that I can highly recommend to anybody interested. I learned heaps I didn't know and had the record set straight on a number of points, mainly regarding Einstein's political ...
The book wasn’t amazing, but the man certainly was. Don’t get me wrong; I really liked the book, and it is one I would recommend to all those readers who want to meet an intelligent, wonderful, honest, humble person. I am not calling him great for what he did for science, but for the kind of person ...
It was with great pleasure I took to reading about Einstein's human nature. It is full of witty aphorisms, theoretical physics debates with every scientist to leave a mark on history, and above all the struggle of a brilliant mind to fully succumb to any one train of thought. Einstein goes through a...
Utterly fascinating look at Einstein that does justice to both his life and his achievements. Excellent layman friendly perspectives on his theories. I listened to the audio book that was read beautifully by Edward Herrmann.
Fascinating and lovingly crafted. Isaacson approaches his subject with the utmost regard and a clear desire to explain what we might call ambiguous or controversial aspects of Einstein's life. The book certainly doesn't lack in detail. There are 550 pages of narrative biography and a massive list of...
"I don't like biographies, but I loved this one"I was reluctant to listen to this book because I don't like biographies. I'm glad I broke my rule. The author explains the physics of Einstein (from quantum theory to general relativity) better than almost any other popular physics book. It's really th...
Well, first off - Walter Isaacson is a genius. I loved the focus he took with this book. I feel as if I know this man Einstein. I understand the things that were important to him. I get that brilliance thing, and before reading this I had no idea that the explosions of scientific genius were lar...
This is an excellent biography. I picked it up fully not intending to read more than the first couple chapters. I couldn't put it down. Einstein led a fascinating life and Isaacson is a phenomenal writer. I came away with not only a basic understanding of relativity, but more importantly with an und...
Einstein: His Life and Universe is but a mere pinch of Einstein's theories mixed in with a modest helping of his life. The brevity was too my taste as I was only in the mood for a tiny taste of Einstein bio. Too much of the genuis' theory is liable to give me brain-freeze, so this was perfect. And d...
