Review Quotes
"A compelling selection. . . . Students of Einstein's work and life, who are familiar with these contexts, can find many embellishments to their research, and often puzzling contrary notes to customary portrayals of his stance on issues ranging from Zionism to domestic life."-- "Choice"
"All of us who lack Einstein's intellectual and spiritual gifts owe a debt of gratitude to Princeton University Press for having humanized him in this innovative way."---Timothy Ferris, New York Times
"This fascinating book reveals Einstein as a fully rounded human, with both a tender and a darker, more brooding side."-- "Physics World"
