Sobre este artículo
Simon & Schuster, 2007. 1st Paperback Edition 15th Printing. Soft cover. New/No Jacket Issued. B&W era photo section; Chapter Decoration Photos. CONDITION: NEW 2007 Simon & Schuster large (and heavy) Trade Paperback, first PB edition, 15th printing. There is a very very light lift to cover fore edge. B&W era photo section plus photos as Chapter Decorations. CONTENT: Based on newly released personal letters of Einstein, this book explores how an imaginative, impertinent patent clerk-a struggling father in a difficult marriage who couldn't get a teaching job or a doctorate-became the mind reader of the creator of the cosmos, the locksmith of the mysteries of the atom, and the universe. His success came from questioning conventional wisdom and marveling at mysteries that struck others as mundane. This led him to embrace a morality and politics based on respect for free minds, free spirits, and free individuals. These traits are just as vital for this new century of globalization, in which our success will depend on our creativity, as they were for the beginning of the last century, when Einstein helped usher in the modern age. [BTW, I recall Einstein having made the "would like to sleep with" list of Marilyn Monroe. Don't recall how that turned out.]
