'YOU REALLY MUST READ THIS.' Sunday Times This is the first full biography of Albert Einstein since all of his papers have become available - a fully realised portrait of this extraordinary human being, and great genius. This new biography, the first since all of Einstein's papers have become available, is the fullest picture yet of one of the key figures of the twentieth century. All of which helped make Einstein into a rebel but with a reverence for the harmony of nature, one with just the right blend of imagination and wisdom to transform our understanding of the universe. This led him to embrace a worldview based on respect for free spirits and free individuals. In this marvellously clear and accessible narrative, Walter Isaacson explains how his mind worked and the mysteries of the universe that he discovered.Įinstein's success came from questioning conventional wisdom and marvelling at mysteries that struck others as mundane.
