Einstein: The Man and His Mind

An unprecedented visual biography of the iconic pioneer of modern physics, with signed photographs, letters, manuscripts and more

Albert Einstein is known by name and image throughout the world to people of all ages. Einstein: The Man and His Mind gives readers a sense of familiarity with Einstein as a real person and the essence of his contributions. This is accomplished through full-page annotated photographs of Einstein that tell the story of his extraordinary life in science. Designed for general readers and scholars, this beautifully produced large-format visual book is unlike all previous books on the man. Fifty-one original photographic images--mostly signed portrait photos--are supplemented by 53 rare letters, manuscripts, books, journals and four equations in Einstein's hand, selected from what is probably the most extensive private Einstein collection in existence.
The contributors to the book include Gary Berger, who assembled the collection over the past three decades; Michael DiRuggiero, owner of the Manhattan Rare Book Company, who specializes in the history of science with an emphasis on Einstein materials; and Hanoch Gutfreund, director of the Albert Einstein Archives at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and author of several books on Einstein and general relativity.
