Hardcover. Condition: Good. The celebrated biography writer Walter Isaacson presents the most defintive account of the iconic Albert Einstein since the release of all his personal letters and papers in a story that focuses not only on his groundbreaking work general relativity, but on his strident personality and personal life. From his German-Jewish upbringing to the rebellious nature that both hindered his family and fueled his genius to his contributions to WWI and WWII, no biography to datepresents a more complete, psychologically astute portrait of one of the most recognizable people of the twentieth century.

"In 2005, astronomers and cosmologists celebrated - in style - the 100th anniversary of their annus mirabilis: 1905. This was the year in which Albert Einstein wrote a set of scientific papers - including one containing the equation E=mc2 that changed our understanding of the universe - and which became the cornerstones of quantum mechanics and general relativity: the twin intellectual pinnacles of the 20th century. According to Isaacson, we should regard Einstein not as an august scientific priest, but 'as a rebel with reverence for the harmony of nature', a scientist who rated imagination far higher than knowledge and an individual whose motto, at least in his early years, was 'Long live impudence! It is my guardian angel.' Having displayed 'a sassy attitude' at the Zurich Polytechnic, where he studied physics, Einstein was his year's only graduate not to be offered a job. He was even rejected by the Swiss army for having flat feet and varicose veins. In the end, he made do with the Swiss patent office. And a good thing too, says Isaacson. Einstein did his day's work in a couple of hours and then sat back in his 'worldly cloister'.in order to create some of the most beautiful, challenging ideas of modern science. 'Physics was to be upended, and Einstein was poised to be the one to do it,' says Isaacson. It's one of the greatest stories of modern science and a riveting read." - Robin McKie.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. SHEPARDSON BOOKSTALL, 20 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE. THIS BOOk IS VERY WEIGHY BECAUSE OF THE HIGH QUALITY PAPER STOCK USED TO GIVE THE BEST PRESENTATION OF Da VINCI'S MANY WORKS IN ART AND SCIENCE. Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo s astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Walter Isaacson weaves a narrative that connects his art to his science. He shows how Leonardo s genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy. He produced the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. But in his own mind, he was just as much a man of science and technology.

More and more frequently Einstein chose his assistants from mathematicians." One of the chief of them at that time was Professor Walter Mayer, a small round individual who, at first sight, seemed crushed beneath the personality of Einstein. Einstein's family called him Mayerle and this Swabian diminutive suited him to perfection. But in Mayer's self-effacement there was more affection than respect. He gently contradicted Einstein, interrupted him when necessary, follwed up an argument and smiled a little mysteriously, his head on one side, as he watched the figures drawn up in front of him. "It is he who produced all my calculations; his skill is fantastic, you know, "Einstein used to say. In October 1933 Mayer followed Einstein in his American exile. -cf.
