Walter Isaacson, author of the acclaimed Stephen Jobs biography, wrote a book about one of the most famous scientists of the 20th century—Albert Einstein. Not only did he explain the essence of the author’s scientific concepts and discoveries behind the theory of relativity in detail and in an accessible way, but he also told an engrossing story of Einstein the person. The book includes a wealth of documentary materials—letters, memoirs, diary entries. Before us is the image of an astonishingly talented man—a dreamer and a rebel, a humanist and a thinker.
