Einstein and Our World, Second Edition (Control of Nature)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Einstein the man, living amid tremendous social transformation and upheaval, became for many the embodiment of, and spokesman on behalf of, human dignity and reason. Yet, for many others, Einstein the physicist symbolized the incomprehensible new world in which they now found themselves....

For others, the success of Einstein's physics, which lies at the very foundations of our understanding of nature, resulted in an association of his name with the triumph of twentieth-century science-both its enormous success and the enormous economic, political, and military power that derived from it....

How should we, living a half-century after Einstein's death and years after the nuclear cold war that occupied his last days, comprehend this man and his influence on our world? The answer requires a closer look at the interconnections among history, people, and science.
