Albert Einstein

In this title the author brings Einsteins`s genius into relief, displaying how his achievements suffuse daily life. It is a searching work, both an engaging portrait of a genius and a distillation of scientific thought. Folsing sheds light on Einstein`s development and the complexity of his being. We overhear his discussions with his friends and colleagues--such as Sigmund Freud--learn how he was in his personal life, and about his intense relationships with women. What is presented is an account in which a man puzzling over the concept of synchronicity in a patent office is somehow connected to the atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima and the subsequent onset of the Cold War.
