SHADOWS

Karen C. Fox, Einstein A to Z
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. | ISBN 0471466743 | 2004 | PDF | 3.30 MB | 321 pages


Tackling a human life in alphabetical order is a fascinating task. Instead of a continuous story that includes highs and lows, descriptions of a personality with both strengths and weaknesses, a tale of triumphs coupled with failures, an encyclopedia spotlights a single topic to the exclusion of others. Every aspect of the subject’s life is presented starkly and without mitigating factors. Most important, you will learn that the contradictions of Einstein’s life could not obscure his contributions. His theories, one more elegant than the last, nourished and created the very foundation for twentiethcentury science. Ultimately, as we wrote this book, we realized that Einstein quite simply was all his contradictions simultaneously: stubborn, brilliant, modest, self-centered, generous, passionate. A biography presented in bite-size entries, as this book is, offers the chance to see the truth behind an icon in a way that is rarely possible.
