Media Reviews

What was Einstein like for the first thirty years of his life? Who were the personalities who guided him? What did he read? This book, which hopes to shed light on these questions, is a sequence of academic articles written by Einstein specialists for the Birkhauser Einstein Studies series. ...The [book] is remarkably readable and informative. ...Indispensable for Einstein disciples, the book is also accessible to the general reader. The presentation is excellent and the editing conducted to a high standard. ...Extensive references are given after each essay and an index of names is provided.
