![]() ![]() ![]() Five Questions for Walter IsaacsonĪ: What kind of scientific education did you have to give yourself to be able to understand and explain Einstein's ideas? Read "The Light-Beam Rider," the first chapter of Walter Isaacson's Einstein: His Life and Universe. 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. ![]()
