Holt, Jim, New York Times Book Review: "Though [this book] is subtitled 'A Scientific Romance,' love fails to triumph. In fact it is more of an antiromance, though none the less engaging for that....Overbye, the deputy science editor for The New York Times, strikes a...judicious note as he plumbs the first 40 years of Einstein's life....[He] does a nice job of explaining the conceptual and mathematical difficulties that Einstein surmounted on his way to this goal; indeed the scientific exposition in this book is almost as racy as the biographical bits." |
