![]() ![]() Many have had as much or more ability than him, but I feel he was able to make his accomplishments because of his creative, unlimited thought processes. In addition to being informative on the technical and personal aspects of his life, the book described how he was not limited by the "usual", and was able to think "out of the box" and not worry about what "others" thought of him. ![]() Isaacson is a master of the form and this latest opus is at once arresting and wonderfully revelatory. ![]() The book is the first biography to tackle Einstein's enormous volume of personal correspondence that heretofore had been sealed from the public, and it's hard to imagine another book that could do such a richly textured and complicated life as Einstein's the same thoughtful justice. With Einstein: His Life and Universe, Walter Isaacson (author of the bestselling biographies Benjamin Franklin and Kissinger) brings Einstein's experience of life, love, and intellectual discovery into brilliant focus. Albert Einstein as a man, however, has been a much harder portrait to paint, and what we know of him as a husband, father, and friend is fragmentary at best. As a scientist, Albert Einstein is undoubtedly the most epic among 20th-century thinkers. ![]()
