The pre & post war economies, businesses, and careers possible as described here seem a world away from today. Here's a chance to become more intimately acquainted with an exceptional life that straddles both world wars, a biography that introduces the reader to the histories of England, Germany, Switzerland, England, Israel, Italy and Japan in relation to both conflicts. This new biography, the first since all of Einstein's papers have become available, is the fullest picture yet of one of the key figures of the twentieth century. All of which helped make Einstein into a rebel but with a reverence for the harmony of nature, one with just the right blend of imagination and wisdom to transform our understanding of the universe. This led him to embrace a worldview based on respect for free spirits and free individuals. In this marvelously clear and accessible narrative, Walter Isaacson explains how his mind worked and the mysteries of the universe that he discovered.Įinstein's success came from questioning conventional wisdom and marveling at mysteries that struck others as mundane. His character, creativity and imagination were related, and they drove both his life and his science. He was a rebel and nonconformist from boyhood days. Einstein is the great icon of our age: the kindly refugee from oppression whose wild halo of hair, twinkling eyes, engaging humanity and extraordinary brilliance made his face a symbol and his name a synonym for genius.
