An Einstein Encyclopedia Hardcover - 2015

"A fascinating and exceptionally readable reference volume for anyone interested in Einstein as a personality, scientist, political figure, or humanitarian. The authors make clear how we have come to know what we know about Albert Einstein.

This is a valuable resource by three accomplished Einstein scholars."--Mary Jo Nye, author of Blackett: Physics, War, and Politics in the Twentieth Century
