Taking advantage of the wealth of recently uncovered historical material, he has produced the most readable biography of Einstein yet. Diana Kormos Buchwald, General Editor of the Collected Papers of Albert Einstein Isaacsons treatment of Einsteins scientific work is excellent: accurate, complete, and just the right level of detail for the general reader. Miller, author of Einstein, Picasso Isaacson has written a crisp, engaging, and refreshing biography, one that beautifully masters the historical literature and offers many new insights into Einsteins work and life. Dudley Herschbach, Professor of Science at Harvard Isaacson has admirably succeeded in weaving together the complex threads of Einsteins personal and scientific life to paint a superb portrait. Review Quotes I found so much to admire there are many places where I just had to cheer what Isaacson had written.
These traits are just as vital for this new century of globalization, in which our success will depend on our creativity, as they were for the beginning of the last century, when Einstein helped usher in the modern age. This led him to embrace a morality and politics based on respect for free minds, free spirits, and free individuals.
His success came from questioning conventional wisdom and marveling at mysteries that struck others as mundane. Based on newly released personal letters of Einstein, this book explores how an imaginative, impertinent patent clerk-a struggling father in a difficult marriage who couldnt get a teaching job or a doctorate-became the mind reader of the creator of the cosmos, the locksmith of the mysteries of the atom, and the universe. His fascinating story is a testament to the connection between creativity and freedom.
How did his mind work? What made him a genius? Isaacsons biography shows how his scientific imagination sprang from the rebellious nature of his personality.
