5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent collection of essays,
By RobConway (USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Einstein for the 21st Century: His Legacy in Science, Art, and Modern Culture (Hardcover)
The essays in this collection are exceptionally wide ranging, and only occasionally daunting for technical reasons. The title is fully justified. As an art historian I particularly appreciated the essays on modern art and its somewhat complex relation to Einstein.

Universal Man for the 21st century,
By
This review is from: Einstein for the 21st Century: His Legacy in Science, Art, and Modern Culture (Hardcover)
This exceptional book about the legacy of Albert Einstein is a must for anyone who seriously wants to understand the great man's profound and varied gifts to our world. It is a collection of 20 highly diverse and brilliantly written essays by world-class scholars from six countries, based on the lectures they gave during a gathering in Berlin in 2005 to celebrate the centenary of Albert Einstein's Annus Mirabilis.
Tomorrow I will be giving my 16th public lecture on Albert Einstein's legacy -- a labor of love since 2004 -- and am exceptionally grateful that I discovered this book last year in the world-class science library at the California Institute of Technology. I previously believed that I was an "Einstein expert," but this unique book proved otherwise. |
