Book Reviews of Einstein: His Life and Universe
Book Review: Excellent book about Einstein very enjoyable read.
Summary: 5 Stars
It seems that the other reviewers have exhausted all superlatives in describing this book. I feel that this volume far more than any other I have read is an extremely enjoyable read, fairly represents Einsteins world views and gives you a great perspective on the life and times of this great man.
Some of the science discussions in the book will leave you wanting but this is an biography and not a text book. All in all a very enjoyable read filled with new insights on one of the most creative mind in history.
Book Review: Not Too Thick for the Thick of Mind
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a mild interest in reading about Einstein, but frankly put off reading this biography for the simple reason that it seemed thicker than my interest. But what a wonderful read it is. Isaacson does a graceful job of keeping the pace moving, and an estimable job of explaining the science (to us non-scientists) without letting it bog down the story.
And, quite simply, Einstein is also a fascinating person to read about, especially his later life as an internationalist and world icon. Highly recommended.
Book Review: 14 years old and loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the most facinating biographies I have ever read. I, being fourteen, found myself sometimes a bit overwhelmed with the math and physics. But I will say that when the author explains it, it is easier to comprehend. I would recomend this book to ANYONE who wants a thurough (I being no Einstein myself know that is spelled wrong) and epic look at the personal life and triumphs of this genius.Book Review: It's a wonderful life
Summary: 5 Stars
What a superb job Issacson has done with this truely great man. Somehow the author has been able to give us a glimse at the Einstein sole and I loved what I saw. Every American should read this book especialy at this time in their history. Get a picture at what sort of society true intellegence can envisage before you let it slip further away.Book Review: "Einstein"
Summary: 5 Stars
Absolutely brilliant! Walter Issacson takes one to the heart of the great Einstein by making him accessible to the arm chair intellectual!
I even was able to understand the mathmetical offerings thanks to his great explanations!
I continue to be a devoted fan of Amazon!
Thank you
