Description
The Genius of ALBERT EINSTEIN - An Albert Einstein Biography
Albert Einstein is the most recognizable face of science.
The man who created the theory of relativity, alongside so many other breakthroughs in the world of physics, though, was so much more than just a scientist.
A philosopher, musician, humanitarian. A pacifist.
Einstein was never a man to back down in a fight, and never one to accept the words of authority if they were unjustified, or harmful to others.
The kindly, white haired old man, was a flawed genius. A man who possessed excellence in science, a deep love for humanity, struggled in his personal life.
This is the story of Albert Einstein, the greatest intellect of the twentieth century, perhaps of all time.
