About this title

Review:

This collection of his articles, speeches and correspondences spans philosophy, politics, friendship, education, religion and science... Do not be daunted by the author or the title. This is a readable book that illuminates the man rather than the lauded genius. --Astronomy Now

Einstein's physics transformed how we understand the world, and his pacifism inspired generations. --New Scientist

Einstein's humanistic and political writings, which reveal his broad range of non-scientific interests. The best examples of these essays, as well as some eloquent eulogies, can be found in his book Ideas and Opinions. --The Guardian
