Items related to Einstein (Life&Times)
Albert Einstein re-wrote the textbooks of science in 1905: physics since has been little more than a series of footnotes to the theories of a 26-year-old patent-office clerk. Einstein’s science and emotional life come together in this vivid portrait of a rebellious and contradictory figure, a pacifist whose legendary equation E=mc2 squared opened scientists’ eyes to the terrible power within every atom. ‘To punish me for my contempt for authority,’ he lamented, ‘Fate has made me an authority myself ’

From the Publisher:
"This biography is brilliant, because it does not only talk about Einstein’s discoveries, but gives a rounded portrait of a complex and many-sided character: his passion for music, his deeply felt humanism, his love of sailing and cheap cigars, his troubled private life, and of course his science," says the publisher Barbara Schwepcke.
About the Author:
Peter D. Smith writes regularly for The Guardian, Independent and TLS among others and teaches at University College London. His book, Metaphor and Materiality: German Literature and the World-View of Science 1780-1955, was published in 2000.
