Title: Einstein: His life and universe
Post by: Perspective on June 28, 2008, 01:03:22 AM: I picked up Einstein: His life and universe (http://www.amazon.com/Einstein-Life-Universe-Walter-Isaacson/dp/0743264738) at the airport. It's a biography (apparently the first since all of his papers have been made available). So far it's great.. well written and of course an interesting subject. You definitely have to be a bit of a geek to enjoy it but I'm loving every minute of it so far.

It's just crazy to read about how he goes against everything everybody thinks they know for sure and comes up with his own theories... then sticks to them for the YEARS that it takes everyone else to come around and realize how genius they are.
