Albert Einstein (1879-1955). Described in his obituary in The Times as 'the greatest scientist of modern times.'
'Einstein's little book serves as an excellent tying together of loose ends and as a broad survey of the subject.' –Physics Today 'He was unfathomably profound ... the genius among geniuses who discovered, merely by thinking about it, that the universe was not as it seemed.' - Time 'Einstein's little book serves as an excellent tying together of loose ends and as a broad survey of the subject.' –Physics Today '[Einstein], far more than any other single person, is responsible for the way we think nowadays about material things.' - The Times Literary Supplement
