Many biographies have been written about Einstein; so why the need for yet another? ALBERT EINSTEIN: A BIOGRAPHY focuses on the man as much as his science, considering his human weaknesses, his charm, sense of humor, and life. From his troubled marriages and family life to his rise to international fame and fight for world peace, ALBERT EINSTEIN offers both depth and a lively presentation to make it hard to put down.
