Description:This exceptional book about the legacy of Albert Einstein is a must for anyone who seriously wants to understand the great man's profound and varied gifts to our world. It is a collection of 20 highly diverse and brilliantly written essays by world-class scholars from six countries, based on the lectures they gave during a gathering in Berlin in 2005 to celebrate the centenary of Albert Einstein's Annus Mirabilis.
Tomorrow I will be giving my 16th public lecture on Albert Einstein's legacy -- a labor of love since 2004 -- and am exceptionally grateful that I discovered this book last year in the world-class science library at the California Institute of Technology. I previously believed that I was an "Einstein expert," but this unique book proved otherwise.
