The best books on Einstein, recommended by Walter Isaacson
From the Swiss patent applications that helped inspire his thinking on relativity to the scientist he fell madly in love with but later divorced, biographer Walter Isaacson recommends books on the life and work of Albert Einstein. (Isaacson’s biography of Einstein was described as “a thorough exploration of his subject’s life, a skilful piece of scientific literature and a thumping good read” in a Guardian review and has also been recommended by novelist Ian McEwan on Five Books.)
