Simon & Schuster Ltd Einstein: His Life and Universe

I purchased this hardcover book as a gift for my father. Unfortunately, upon receiving it, I noticed that the pages were poorly cut, almost as if the machine had missed trimming one side. It was truly unacceptable. If my father hadn't started reading it, I would have promptly returned the book.

De uma forma geral, excelente biografia, que se beneficia de uma fecunda interação de um autor não especializado com físicos de alto padrão e grande capacidade de disseminação de conceitos científicos complexos. Infelizmente, as informações sobre o Brasil estão inteiramente equivocadas. Sobral, no Ceará, é localizada, pelo autor, na floresta amazônica

Walter Isaacson takes readers through the extraordinary life of the renowned physicist Albert Einstein. Isaacson's comprehensive biography not only captures the essence of Einstein's scientific contributions but also delves into the fascinating aspects of his personal life.Isaacson's meticulous research and engaging storytelling make this biography a captivating read. He masterfully presents Einstein's complex scientific theories in a way that is accessible to readers of all backgrounds. Whether it's relativity, quantum mechanics, or the photoelectric effect, Isaacson ensures that even the most intricate concepts are explained clearly and without unnecessary jargon. As a result, readers gain a deeper understanding of the revolutionary discoveries that perpetually changed our understanding of the universe.However, what truly sets this biography apart is Isaacson's exploration of Einstein's personal life. Delving into his family dynamics, relationships, and political and social activism, Isaacson provides readers with a well-rounded picture of the man behind the genius. By examining Einstein's struggles and successes, his controversies and ethical dilemmas, Isaacson humanizes the iconic figure, making him relatable and understandable.Furthermore, Isaacson's prose is engaging and fluid, making the biography accessible and enjoyable to read. He skillfully weaves together historical context, scientific explanations, and personal anecdotes, creating a narrative that is both informative and entertaining. Isaacson's admiration for Einstein shines through in his writing, but he remains objective and portrays the scientist honestly, highlighting both his strengths and flaws.One criticism of the book is that it occasionally delves too deeply into scientific explanations, which may not appeal to readers without a strong background in physics. However, Isaacson's ability to seamlessly transition between technical details and personal anecdotes largely compensates for this minor flaw.In conclusion, Einstein His Life And Universe is a compelling biography that provides a thorough understanding of Einstein's life, science, and impact on the world. Walter Isaacson's meticulous research, insightful analysis, and engaging storytelling make this book a must-read for anyone interested in the man behind the theory of relativity.

Issacson does an admirable job in telling Einsteins life story, and it is such a difficult thing to do without getting way to far into the complexities and complicated scientific theories that Einsteins life was about and involved with. And in this book he has been able to accomplish both great detail about the science, in a way thats mostly understandable, along with telling the reader all about Einsteins life, in all details, both academically and personal.Einstein has always been one of my favorite, and most admired historical figures ever, and I found this book a great telling of his incredibly interesting life. It gives you the details that you need, in a way that one can grasp, if not completely, at least enough to appreciate the historic implications of so much of what Einstein did and thought of and solved, as well as questioned.One thing that Einstein did and espoused most of his life, and that he believed to be so important in all aspects of life, ( especially in gaining knowledge and perspectives for ones entire life ) was the willingness, and ability to question things, all things, to better understand, and as important, learn.Sadly, in todays current society, it seems that is no longer the case, as one gets shut down ( or with social media, cancelled and vilified ) when one does. Einstein would be very disappointed to see where things are today, especially in the halls and campuses of higher learning that exist today.This book is a good look into the life and career of one of the greatest thinkers of modern times, and I thourougly enjoyed every page of it. I will continue to look for other information about him, but this was a great start.

This is an excellent, excellent book.A comprehensive, start to finish biography of the man's life, with extremely complicated, abstract mathematics and physics explained in a simplified manner, in a way only someone who intrinsically understands the subject can do.Despite the subject matter, and by that I I close the First and Second World Wars, anti-Semitism and, intimately, the Holocaust, and also the physics and maths, it was simply a joy to read and never once felt heavy or dull.If there is a better biography of Einstein out there, I won't just eat my hat, I'll grow my hair and moustache and impersonate the man for the rest of my days!

Il libero è meraviglioso. Ti fa entrare nel mondo di Einstein e la scrittura di Walter e’ davvero eccellente. Consigliato assolutamente
