Einstein in Love

During the first two decades of the twentieth century, the world stood on the verge of upheaval as all the familiar political, cultural, & scientific truths were challenged by new discoveries & philosophies. It was a period when young Albert Einstein was in love--with physics & the secret order of the universe; with his brilliant, tormented first wife, Mileva; & with a series of comely young women who were distractions from his gradually failing marriage. While that marriage worked, though, the Einsteins were a truly modern couple, a couple who had relativity & quantum mysticism as their pillow talk, a couple who were as often colleagues as they were fierce adversaries. In Einstein in Love, Dennis Overbye presents this greatest of scientific romances in a vivid new light, telling the unforgettable story of the young man--a sly firebrand who left personal & professional chaos in his wake--who did the revolutionary work that changed the very way we view reality. Einstein in Love separates the man Albert from the myth Einstein & restores humanity, individuality, & nuance to the most monolithic figure in the scientific pantheon.Overbye, Dennis is the author of 'Einstein in Love' with ISBN 9780670894307 and ISBN 0670894303.
