Albert Einstein is known by name and image throughout the world to people of all ages. He is probably the most well-known scientist of all time. Even though most people have only a vague idea of what he did, the attraction remains. The raison d'être for this book is to convey a sense of familiarity with Einstein as a real person and the essence of his contributions. This is accomplished through annotated full-page photographs of Einstein that tell the story of his scientific life.
This visual - and artistically beautiful - format differentiates 'Einstein. The Man and His Mind' from all previous books about him. There are 51 images of Einstein (mostly signed rare portrait photos), supplemented by 4 equations in his hand and 53 images of rare letters, manuscripts, books, and journals provided by what is likely the largest private Einstein collection in existence.
