Description
Seit ber 20 Jahren ist dies die erste umfassende Einstein-Biographie. Der anerkannte Autor Denis Brian untersucht die private, ffentliche und wissenschaftliche Seite der legendren Persnlichkeit dieses rtselhaften Mannes. Geschickt beleuchtet Brian Einsteins eigenartig-neugierigen Charakter, die Trume und Ereignisse, die den knftigen Wissenschaftler vorangetrieben haben auf seiner unglaublichen Reise zu den Gipfeln des Erfolges und weltweiter Anerkennung. Einsteins Lebenswerk vernderte schlie lich die Sichtweise der Wissenschaft von der Welt, angefangen bei seinem ersten Entwurf der revolutionren Relativittstheorie 1905 bis hin zur Entwicklung der Atombombe (und seiner umstrittenen Position als Gegner des nachfolgenden nuklearen Wettrstens). Der Autor erforscht Einsteins berwltigendes Erbe in Gesprchen mit vielen Zeitgenossen. Auch lftet Brian das Geheimnis der Formeln, Theorien und Experimente, damit wir ihre Bedeutung und Tragweite besser verstehen knnen. Mit Prgnanz und Liebe zum Detail entfhrt er uns in die Welt, in der Einstein arbeitete, zurckgezogen oder gemeinsam mit anderen; von seinen Assistenten wurde er verehrt und mit anderen Physikern seiner Zeit pflegte er freundschaftliche Beziehungen. (10/97)
