| 520 | |a A rich portrait of the remarkable man behind the legendary scientist that also describes and contextualizes Einstein's enormous contributions to science | ||
| 520 | |a Einstein," a breakout bestseller in Germany, is sure to be a classic biography of the man and proverbial genius who has been called "the brain of the (20th) century | ||
| 520 | 1 | |a "Wild-haired eccentric genius, revolutionary scientist, eternal child, peace activist Albert Einstein is well established in the popular imagination. Beloved for his contributions to our understanding of the cosmos and for his mischievous persona, Einstein nevertheless remains enigmatic. The significance of this theory of relativity continues to be puzzled over. His personal life - particularly his troubled relationship with his family and his numerous affairs with women - has been the topic of heated controversy. And his fabled naivete is the topic of endless speculation." "Jurgen Neffe offers a fresh portrait of the man behind the myth, debunking popular stereotypes and romantic conjectures and explaining Einstein's scientific achievements in clear and accessible prose. Drawing on newly unearthed documents, including a series of letters from Einstein to his sons that shed new light on Einstein's role as a father, Neffe paints a portrait of the tumultuous years in which Einstein lived and worked. The result is a psychological portrait of a man whose character has too often been obscured by the shadow of genius."--BOOK JACKET | |
