His face is instantly recognisable. His name is shorthand for genius. But who was Einstein really ? The Nobel Prize-winning physicist who discovered 'general' relativity, black holes and E = mc2, dined with Charlie Chaplin in Hollywood and was the inspiration for (highly radioactive) element 99, Albert Einstein was also a high-school dropout with an FBI file 1,400 pages long. In this book, Samuel Graydon brings history's most famous scientist back to life.
From his lost daughter to escaping the Nazis, from his love letters to his unlikely inventions, from telling jokes to cheer up his sad parrot Bibo to refusing the Presidency of Israel, through the discoveries and thought experiments that changed science, Einstein in Time and Space tells ninety-nine unforgettable stories of the man who redefined how we view our universe and our place within it.
