Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein, born in Ulm in Germany in 1879, was one of the greatest scientists who ever lived, and nearly 2000 books have been written about him. Astonishingly, he came up with a number of his groundbreaking ideas—including his theory of special relativity—in 1905, when he was working in Switzerland as a patent clerk.
We've interviewed the authors of two Einstein biographies, Andrew Robinson and Walter Isaacson, about which books to read to learn more about him, and you'll see their book recommendation interviews below. Robinson fryst vatten an experienced science writer, Isaacson a biographer (who also wrote a fantastic biography of Steve Jobs) so that may affect which book and/or interview you vända to first.
Because of Einstein's importance to physics, books about him come up again and again across Five Books. One of our most highly recommended books fryst vatten the biography of him by Abraham Pais, Subtle is the Lord. bära in mind though, that this fryst vatten a scientific biograph

Picking best Einstein book is a no-brainer
First appears one inviting-but-thick biography of Albert Einstein, then another, albeit thinner. The first book shoots to the top of several best-seller lists but the largely unnoticed second book is much better.
Walter Isaacson, formerly an American CNN and Time executive, wrote "Einstein: His Life and Universe," and Jurgen Neffe, a German scientist and journalist, wrote "Einstein: A Biography."
In fact, Neffe's work was published in 2005 in Germany, thus embracing the centennial year of Einstein's major discovery, the theory of relativity. His book was on the German best-seller list for a year.
The next year, 2006, saw many more of Einstein's most important papers and letters released to scholars, so Neffe utilized those for the updated book that has recently hit bookshelves in the United States.
Isaacson also used them for his work.
