Insight into the other side of Einstein's great intellect,
By Oscar (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ideas And Opinions (Paperback)
When the name "Albert Einstein" is mentioned, most people think of his Theories of Relativity, his knowledge in Theoretical Physics, and generally his contributions to the field of physics. But Einstein was a great man, a great thinker, and his intelligence and wisdom reached far beyond that of just physical science. He was a man with lot of ideas and opinions, and his knowledge covers areas such as politics, equality, spiritual matters and relationships on a personal level. In this book he shares this knowledge in his writings, which are easy to read and follow. This is an excellent book that shows the other side of one of the greatest figures in history, and is a must for all who are interested in his thoughts on many aspects of life.

Overall, recommanded.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ideas & Opinions (Hardcover)
This book has two parts that I am not sure go togather. In the first part (p. 1-216) the authir presents his views on politics, religion, humanity and other such topics. It was the interest in these topics that prompted me to read the book. In the second part (p. 217-377) Prof. Einstein discusses his analytical work. I must admit that not beeing a Physicist, at times I was not able to follow. For that reason I cannot comment on that part of the book. Overall, I would recommand reading this book if only for its first part.

Genius Philosophy Stands the Test of Time,
By
This review is from: Ideas & Opinions (Hardcover)
This is a rare treasure of a book that will bring you wonderful insights into one of the greatest minds of the last century. Albert Einstein covers a great deal of topics including love, marriage, religion, God, laws and shares insights whose truth genuinely stands the test of time. This book is a brilliant account of his many lectures, letters, and thoughts throughout his own personal life, as well as his role in society. His suggestions, ideas and opinions serve humanity well, and hopefully many more people will take in the brilliance he so graciously gave us. Highly recommended for its outstanding literary and humanitarian contribution. Deserves 10 Stars.Barbara Rose, author of 'Individual Power' and 'If God Was Like Man'
