An Einstein Encyclopedia Hardcover - 2015

From the rear cover

"A fascinating and exceptionally readable reference volume for anyone interested in Einstein as a personality, scientist, political figure, or humanitarian. The authors make clear how we have come to know what we know about Albert Einstein. They also place him within networks of biographical profiles of family members, friends, romantic interests, teachers, collaborators, and colleagues, discrediting myths of Einstein as a solitary man. This is a valuable resource by three accomplished Einstein scholars."--Mary Jo Nye, author of Blackett: Physics, War, and Politics in the Twentieth Century

"Finally, here's a compendium of Einstein facts and information from the people who know him best, the wonderful scholars who have been editing his papers. This volume is a treasure trove. It's both informative and a lot of fun to browse and savor."--Walter Isaacson, author of Einstein: His Life and Universe
