"What Bodanis does brilliantly is to give us a feel for Einstein as
a person. I don't think I've ever read a book that does this as
well . . . Whenever there's a chance for storytelling, Bodanis
triumphs." --Popular Science "Fascinating." --Forbes Widely
considered the greatest genius of all time, Albert Einstein
revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos with his general
theory of relativity and helped lead us into the atomic age. Yet in
the final decades of his life, he was ignored by most working
scientists, and his ideas were opposed by even his closest friends.
How did this happen? Best-selling biographer David Bodanis traces
the arc of Einstein's life--from the skeptical, erratic student to
the world's most brilliant physicist to the fallen-from-grace
celebrity. An intimate biography in which "theories of the universe
morph into theories of life" (Times, London), Einstein's Greatest
Mistake reveals what we owe Einstein today--and how much more he
might have achieved if not for his all-too-human flaws.
