Einstein
His Life and Universe
Walter Isaacson
Explore the fascinating story of a rebellious genius, Albert Einstein, in this riveting biography by Walter Isaacson. Based on newly released personal letters, Isaacson shows how Einstein's scientific imagination sprang from his impertinent personality and creativity. Discover how a struggling patent clerk became the mind-reader of the cosmos, unlocking the mysteries of the atom and universe by questioning conventional wisdom and embracing a morality based on free minds and individuals. This compelling read is a testament to the power of creativity and freedom, just as relevant today as it was during Einstein's extraordinary life.

I read this book and "Benjamin Franklin" and probed Walter Isaacson about them to try to glean what characteristics they had in common. – source

Hi @DrMaths & @drpaulinedixon thanks for the gift of this extraordinary book. It is difficult to put this amazing book down. What a pleasure to get to know Einstein’s life and universe – sourceAnybody who can write a book on Einstein and that an idiot like me can understand the physics was a miracle. – source
