Einstein: His Life and Universe [平装]

By the author of the acclaimed bestseller Benjamin Franklin, this is the first full biography of Albert Eintein since all of his papers have become available.

How did his mind work? What made him a genius? Isaacson’s biography shows how his scientific imagination sprang from the rebellious nature of his personality. His fascinating story is a testament to the connection between creativity and freedom.

“Walter Isaacson has captured the complete Einstein. 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 University, and author of The Fabric of the Cosmos
