"Once again Walter Isaacson has produced a most valuable biography of a great man about whom much has already been written. It is excellently readable and combines the personal and the scientific aspects of Einstein's life in a graceful way." - Gerald Holton, Professor of Physics at Harvard and author of Einstein, History, and Other Passions "This book will be widely and deservedly admired. With an effortless style that belies a sharp attention to detail and scientific accuracy, Isaacson takes us on a soaring journey through the life, mind, and science of the man who changed our view of the universe." - Brian Greene, Professor of Physics at Columbia and author of The Fabric of the Cosmos "Walter Isaacson has captured the complete Einstein. It shows us the creative exuberance of a man with an extraordinary visual imagination, able to recast certain problems in surprising ways."-Ian McEwan I was about to say scientific creativity, but I think I mean creativity itself. "This is a biography that happens to be treatise on creativity. "I found so much to admire there are many places where I just had to cheer what Isaacson had written." - Dudley Herschbach, Professor of Science at Harvard "Isaacson has written a crisp, engaging, and refreshing biography, one that beautifully masters the historical literature and offers many new insights into Einstein's work and life." - Diana Kormos Buchwald, General Editor of the Collected Papers of Albert Einstein
Douglas Stone, Professor of Physics at Yale
Taking advantage of the wealth of recently uncovered historical material, he has produced the most readable biography of Einstein yet." - A. "Isaacson's treatment of Einstein's scientific work is excellent: accurate, complete, and just the right level of detail for the general reader. "This book does an amazing job getting the science right and the man revealed." - Sylvester James Gates, Professor of Physics at the University of Maryland
