![]() ![]() ![]() Very well-written and meticulously researched.Įinstein : His Life and Universe, Walter Isaacson Isaacson creates a vivid and engaging portrait of who Einstein was as a whole - both the brilliant and the quirky - and gives us a wonderful glimpse into how this man's amazing mind led to some of the most incredible scientific discoveries in history. In fact, much to my surprise, there were times I had trouble putting this book down. I especially enjoyed learning the details of Einstein's life, relationships, struggles and philosophies. When I did understand the physics, I found it all rather fascinating. The periodic and quite detailed descriptions of Einstein's theories and research were a bit (okay, maybe way) over my head at times, but that didn't in any way damper my enjoyment of the book. ![]() I felt a bit daunted by the length of it at first (700 pages, or 22 hours on 18 CDs), but the book is engrossing from the start. ![]() I thought it might help me to actually have a somewhat intelligent reply on the rare occasion he starts talking physics (don't tell him I said so, but he is much smarter than I am). I decided to read this book primarily because of my fiance's interest in Einstein's life and theories. ![]()
