This excellent biography, with 200+ photographs, is a fine look at his life, work and ideas. The science is clearly explained without mathematics (quite a trick for the Relativity Theory). A useful reference of the man who said that God does not play dice with the universe. It pleases me that his life and mine overlapped a little (he died a year after I was born. I don't know why that pleases me; it just does.) (  ) burnit99 | Jan 4, 2007 |   no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
Ronald W. Clark's definitive biography of Einstein, the Promethean figure of our age, goes behind the phenomenal intellect to reveal the human side of the legendary absent-minded professor who confidently claimed that space and time were not what they seemed.
Here is the classic portrait of the scientist and the man: the boy growing up in the Swiss Alps, the young man caught in an unhappy first marriage, the passionate pacifist who agonized over making The Bomb, the indifferent Zionist asked to head the Israeli state, the physicist who believed in God.
