Einstein in Time and Space

Reviews / Votes

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 * A masterful biography and a hugely entertaining read * i Paper * An intriguing, mosaic-like portrait of the great physicist * Literary Review * A great biography. Einstein is not treated as an unknowable genius, but as a flawed individual with interesting stories . . . an incredibly enjoyable read * Sky At Night * A fresh take . . . compelling and beautifully written. Enhances our understanding of both a great scientist and an exemplary humanist * Wall Street Journal * An immensely readable work about the man himself, collected into 99 short, mostly two-page, chapters, exploring his scientific ideas, quoting his letters, and telling many revealing anecdotes. * Church Times * Gems about this icon of modern physics continue to be written because he is such a rich subject, with more original sources referring to him becoming public every year. Still, it does take a new angle on Einstein to get publishers and reviewers excited. Samuel Graydon has achieved just that. * Physics World * Fascinating . . . this vivid book can enrich us all. * CARLO ROVELLI *
