By the author of the acclaimed bestseller "Benjamin Franklin," this
is the first full biography of Albert Einstein 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.
Based on newly released personal letters of Einstein, this book
explores how an imaginative, impertinent patent clerk -- a
struggling father in a difficult marriage who couldn't get a
teaching job or a doctorate -- became the mind reader of the
creator of the cosmos, the locksmith of the mysteries of the atom
and the universe. His success came from questioning conventional
wisdom and marveling at mysteries that struck others as mundane.
This led him to embrace a morality and politics based on respect
for free minds, free spirits, and free individuals.
These traits are just as vital for this new century of
globalization, in which our success will depend on our creativity,
as they were for the beginning of the last century, when Einstein
helped usher in the modern age.
