About This Item
New York: John Wiley, 1996. 1st p/b ed.. Paperback octavo, very good condition, black & white photos centre spread, corner front cover faintly creased, bottom edge rubbed, minor edgewear. 509 pp. His face is one of the most recognized on the planet, and his name is synonymous with genius. An engaging popular biography of Albert Einstein, the famous German-American physicist, that draws on a wealth of new information recently opened to the public to bring us a broader, more authentic portrait of Einstein than previously available. The first full-scale Einstein life published in 20 years, it is also the first to integrate Einstein's genius with his private and public life to give us a complete impression of the real person. When Einstein's elegantly audacious relativity theory emerged in 1905, he was just an obscure 26-year-old Swiss Patent Office examiner. His equation E = MC2 revolutionized physics. Worried by this liberal Jew, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover compiled a 1000-page file, which Brian calls a jumble of fact, fantasy, lies, rumours and ravings.
