Walter Isaacson has an uncanny ability to write in simple words some very difficult things.He has made tremendous effort here too but I think Einstein's work is not easy to explain to a lay person like me who has limited exposure to Physics.
What you get to read in this book is a 360 degrees and complete side of Einstein with all his genius and flaws.
I admired how Einstein acquiesced himself at the height of anti-Semitic sentiments and this aspect was brought out beautifully by the author.His pain and agony evident throughout a certain period when Hitler ruled the roost.
Einstein's personal, social and political(very little actually) life is explored well providing balance to the book.
Somewhere in the book we read after the age of 40, the genius in a theoretical physics scientist fades away.True to this the later half of the book is not suffused with physics as much as it does in the first half.
I rated 4 as it was very difficult to grasp some of the things mentioned despite several readings.But it is a wholesome book backed by research from primary sources.

Amazing quality.
I received the book in a very fine quality.
I got it from 431.
Page quality is good.
I received the 2018 edison, I watched the series Genius by national geography and it intrigued me to learn more about this man, of course he was one of the great geniuses of all time but he was also a human,he made mistakes in his life both social and personal and at the same time he was making great scientific achievements that just changed the course of physics and our perception.
And Walter Isaacson is a great biographer and it is always wonderful to read his biographies.
One should read this books and other biographies of great people, there is so much to learn but so little time....
Well after I finished reading it I can say this book is worth the time for a curious mind.
What a life,his contribution to physics is so great that mordern cosmology is based on his relativity theory!wow....

This biography is well written albeit bereft of any mathematics or physics to explain complex concepts of general relativity, instead it's more of a historical account of the early days of theoretical physics and a deep look into the human life Einstein had.
Edit: the cover absolutely sucks. Its got Geoffrey rush's picture as Einstein.

A good read if you want to know the life of one of the most prolific men in science. Einstein was a genius but more than that it was his non conformity to the status quo and inquisitive nature which allowed him to transcend beyond the scientific limits of his time. This book is a great read to know the history of theoretical physics in Europe during the late 1800s to 1940s, a period of time when so much of modern physics was discovered and Einstein had a hand in almost everything! Contrary to popular belief that he flunked his school or college, Einstein had one of the best educations one could have during that time. He truly was a genius, the ability to extrapolate concepts which have never before been formalized requires grit and great resolve of mind. Einstein had some of the most amazing friends who have helped him time and again to reach such a celebrity level although it's evident from the book that he struggled a lot during his younger days.

A well-sourced and authoritative biography of Einstein
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 13 July 2013Verified Purchase
This proved to be an interesting and very complete biography of Einstein, with sources listed for all key facts. Perhaps it was a trifle too long in parts, resulting in me skimming some sections, but it provides a remarkable insight into the life and the times of this great physicist. Whilst I had prior knowledge of Einstein's scientific work, I had not appreciated other aspects of his life, including his troubled relationships with his first wife and his children from that marriage, nor had I understood the extent of the anti-semitism to which he had been subjected, nor his celebrity status, whereby the press hung on to his every word. As well as detailing Einstein's life, Walter Isaacson also does a sound job of explaining, in simplified terms, the background to much of Einstein's scientific endeavours, including quantum physics, relativity, and his unsuccessful search for a unified field theory to unite gravitation with electromagnetism. I learned a lot about Einstein from this book and Isaacson brought him alive in terms of his personality.

Well documented biography
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 18 December 2019Verified Purchase
Other books by this author especially the Job's biography are perhaps more readable. It can be sometimes lengthy as Isaacson describes in great details events taking place in Einstein's life, documented it appears, to all the letters everyone at that time seemed to write to each other and keep forever.
However this does give one a good idea how winning a Nobel prize can typically happen much later after the fact and how a noble prize winner can be immediately projected into fame at that time, especially in this case by the American population. We see this still today where an Nobel winner, an expert in a relatively small field, is asked to pronounce on so many world issues and to patronize so many causes. We still see this today.
Let me add I bought a used, hardcover edition from Betterworldbooks via Amazon. It did arrived later than expected, in excellent condition. As I had already been refunded, they magnanimously agreed to make me a present of it! So I am more than happy to recommend them.

Superbly written
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 2 February 2021Verified Purchase
Isaacson does an admirable job of making the incredibly complicated worlds of relativity and quantum mechanics accessible. He doesn't shy away from engaging in these central aspects of Einstein's life. But most importantly, he manages to make this a compelling human story. We get to know the genius and much of what made him tick, in the context of an era extending beyond two world wars.

Best biography of Einstein I've read
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 13 August 2015Verified Purchase
Easy to read but well-researched life of the great scientist, which made me whistle in astonishment at just how marvellous Einstein's intuition was for the way the physical world works. Few human beings have been blessed with such incredible creativity, and this book brings that out in some detail and in ways that other biographies of Einstein I've read haven't. The great man's personal life was sometimes in rather a mess, but he comes across as a kindly - if detached - and sympathetic man. It's rather sad that the development of quantum uncertainty left him behind.

An Excellent Biography
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 13 February 2014Verified Purchase
I thoroughly enjoyed Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs which encouraged me to read his biography of Einstein. Again, I found it a very enjoyable read. As one might expect, there is a lot about particle physics and despite Isaacson generally avoiding mathematical explanations, I must confess I didn't follow all of it, but even the during parts I didn't fully understand, my interest didn't waver because it gave one a sense of the enormous intellectual challenges that Einstein was grappling with. There is also plenty about his personal life that was also interesting.
