As a scientist, Albert Einstein is undoubtedly the most epic among 20th-century thinkers. Albert Einstein as a man, however, has been a much harder portrait to paint, and what we know of him as a husband, father, and friend is fragmentary at best. With Einstein: His Life and Universe, Walter Isaacson (author of the bestselling biographies Benjamin Franklin and Kissinger) brings Einstein's experience of life, love, and intellectual discovery into brilliant focus. The book is the first biography to tackle Einstein's enormous volume of personal correspondence that heretofore had been sealed from the public, and it's hard to imagine another book that could do such a richly textured and complicated life as Einstein's the same thoughtful justice. Isaacson is a master of the form and this latest opus is at once arresting and wonderfully revelatory. --Anne Bartholomew
Walter Isaacson, the CEO of the Aspen Institute, has been chairman of CNN and the managing editor of Time magazine. He is the author of Einstein: His Life and Universe; Benjamin Franklin: An American Life; and Kissinger: A Biography, and the coauthor of The Wise Men: Six Friends and the World They Made. He lives in Washington, DC.
Biography
Rhodes Scholar, historian, and bestselling author Walter Isaacson began his distinguished career as a journalist -- first for London's Sunday Times, then for The Times-Picayune/States-Item, published in his hometown of New Orleans. He joined Time magazine in 1978, working his way up from political correspondent to managing editor in a little less than two decades. He served for two years as chairman and CEO of the cable TV news network CNN; then, in 2003, he became president of the Aspen Institute, an international nonprofit organization "dedicated to fostering enlightened leadership and open-minded dialogue." In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, he was appointed vice-chairman of the Louisiana Recovery Authority, and he serves on a number of policy-making boards and councils.
In literary circles, Isaacson is best known as the writer of magisterial biographies, scholarly and meticulously researched, yet immensely entertaining. His first book, however, was a collaborative effort. Co-written with award-winning journalist Evan Thomas, and published in 1986, The Wise Men: Six Friends and the World They Made explores the lives of six men who shaped government and public policy in the years following WWII. Examining an era too recent to be called history and too distant to qualify as current affairs, the book received mixed reviews but was universally praised for its ambitious scope and elegant style.
Isaacson's subsequent biographies, all solo efforts (and all critically acclaimed), have chronicled the lives of such disparate figures as Henry Kissinger, Benjamin Franklin, and Albert Einstein. He explains what has drawn him to such widely divergent subjects -- men, who on the surface would appear to have very little in common: "I like writing about people with interesting minds. I try to explore the various aspects of intelligence: common sense, wisdom, creativity, imagination, mental processing power, emotional understanding, and moral values. Which of these traits are the most important? How do they make someone an influential or significant or good person?"

评分One of the BEST Books read in 2012.
评分A great man.
1. 看《爱因斯坦传》有两个印象很深刻的地方,当他在专利局工作时,刚开始他每天要花8小时做自己份内的工作,后来他用2-3小时做完每天的工作,剩下的时间就可以做自己的思考。 另外无论是爱因斯坦,还是富兰克林,有一个共同点是他们都组织或参与了读书会,一起读书,相互交流...
评分 评分听书听完的,摘抄解读词如下:“爱因斯坦之所以能一次次发现颠覆性的理论,有两个至关重要的原因:一个是他独立思考、不迷信权威的性格特点,这个特点赋予爱因斯坦颠覆常识的勇气;另一个原因,是他相信宇宙中存在一套简洁、理性、统一的自然规律,这个信念促使他为了探索科学...
评分这段时间因为毕业的事看书时间缩短了,看了好久,整本书确实讲得非常详细(资料很多,手信等),而且很能感受到作者希望传达的东西。 个人感觉这本书可以分为三大部分介绍: 1. 小时候的宗教、信仰问题; 2. 中年时期的相对论等理论研究; 3. 中老年时期的反战。 天才啊,非常...
