Product Description
Review
All of us who lack Einstein's intellectual and spiritual gifts owe a debt of gratitude to Princeton University Press for having humanized him in this innovative way. -- Timothy Ferris The New York Times Book Review Masquerading as a quote book, this title may set a new standard for the genre as well as expand the concept. It is filled with the written and spoken thoughts of this cultural icon as well as those merely attributed to him but conveys much more than a traditional collection of sayings might. The Bloomsbury Review This fascinating book reveals Einstein as a fully rounded human, with both a tender and a darker, more brooding side. Physics World The chief value of this collection of [Einstein's] more memorable observations on the events of the 20th century and his own part in them is that it reveals the development of the person as well as that of the scientist. [The Quotable Einstein] is something of a triumph. New Scientist
Product Description
Offering an insight into "Time" magazine's "Man of the Century", Albert Einstein, this text covers topics such as late-20th century research on Einstein's brain, the possible collaboration of his wife Mileva in his work, and the love letters that Einstein sent to an alleged Soviet spy. Einstein continues to be a global icon as we enter the new millennium, and this 2nd-edition text attempts to show us why. The revelation that he was, after all, a human being in his personal life rather than a secular "saint" has detracted neither from his fame nor from his great scientific achievements. Above all, Einstein is shown to be a loyal letter writer, keeping up a lively correspondence with those whom he loved and respected, and expressing an opinion on just about everything and everyone, including himself.
