EINSTEIN - Walter Isaacson

Einstein: His Life and Universe is Walter Isaacson's definitive, internationally bestselling biography of Albert Einstein, the first to draw on the full archive of his personal papers after they became publicly available. Isaacson traces how an imaginative, impertinent patent clerk - a struggling father in a difficult marriage who could not get a teaching job or a doctorate - became the man who unlocked the mysteries of the atom and the universe. The book shows how Einstein's scientific imagination sprang from the rebellious, nonconformist nature of his personality, and how his success came from questioning conventional wisdom, linking his science to a broader morality of free minds and free individuals. Published by Simon and Schuster UK (2017), paperback, 704 pages.
