The Einstein Scrapbook

Rating:
Summary: A Candid Look at a Great Personality
Review: I picked up "The Einstein Scrapbook" by Ze'Ev Rosenkranz because I was curious about Albert Einstein the person, not Dr. Einstein the scientist. I found what I was looking for.

With everything from early photos and report cards (much better grades than what I heard) to copies of letters he exchanged with children, I found this to be an illuminating and sometimes even humorous outline of Mr. Einstein's life.

Presented here is a chronology of significant and lesser known events, It is not a biography, per se, but has in it enough to provide me, a casual and intrigued reader, all I want to know. Whether it is his time at CalTech or his 1938 "Colliers" article, "Why Do They Hate the Jews?" we see a candid look at one of the academic stars and great personalities of the Twentieth Century.

I fully recommend "The Einstein Scrapbook" by Ze'Ev Rosenkranz.
