DROPOUT, PACIFIST, PHYSICIST, CASANOVA, REFUGEE, GENIUS . . . WHO WAS ALBERT EINSTEIN?

From his lost daughter to escaping the Nazis, from dining with Charlie Chaplin to refusing the Presidency of Israel, Einstein in Time and Space tells 99 unexpected stories of the man who redefined how we view our universe and our place within it.

Reviews for Einstein in Time and Space: A Life in 99 Particles

Illuminating * Nature * A mosaic biography of an exceptional scientist . . . [pieced together] with illuminating skill, style, candour and charm * TLS * For all the thousands of biographies previously written of him, I think Graydon has done a fine and often fascinating job here, and anyone with an interest in science and scientists will absolutely lap this up * Mail on Sunday *
