DROPOUT. PACIFIST. PHYSICIST. CASANOVA. REFUGEE. REBEL. GENIUS.
THINK YOU KNOW EINSTEIN? THINK AGAIN His face is instantly
recognisable. His name is shorthand for genius. Today, he's a
figurehead as much as a man, symbolic of things larger than
himself: of scientific progress, of the human mind, even of the
age. But who was Einstein really? The Nobel Prize-winning physicist
who discovered relativity, black holes and E = mc2, dined with
Charlie Chaplin in Hollywood and was the inspiration for (highly
radioactive) element 99, Albert Einstein was also a high school
dropout with an FBI file 1,400 pages long. In this book, Samuel
Graydon brings history's most famous scientist back to life. From
his lost daughter to escaping the Nazis, from his love letters to
unlikely inventions, from telling jokes to cheer up his sad parrot
Bibo to refusing the Presidency of Israel, through the discoveries
and thought experiments that changed science, Einstein in Time and
Space tells 99 unforgettable stories of the man who redefined how
we view our universe and our place within it.
