Einstein in context: enjoy the ride!,
By
This review is from: Albert Einstein's Vision: Remarkable Discoveries That Shaped Modern Science (Hardcover)
One of the best books I've ever read on Einstein's theories and their implications for a wide range of ideas that continue to vex and fascinate not just scientists, but anyone interested in science. Rather than focus on his ground-breaking theories of General and Special Relativity, Parker chooses to explore Einstein's influence on such disparate concepts as cosmology, black holes, time travel, the shape of space, quantum physics, the atomic bomb, unified field theory, superstrings...the list goes on and on. When Einstein's personal life is appropriate it is discussed, but for the most part this book focuses on mind-blowing concepts. I definitely came away amazed at how much this genius is truly at the base of virtually all contemporary physics and cosmology.
