Suz Reviews: Einstein Defiant

Einstein Defiant

by Edmund Bolles, 307 pgs, hardcover
Amazon site
Overall Grade: A
This book is definitely worth your time especially if you're a scientist. I think its billed as a history of science/physics book, but what its really about is the author trying to get inside the heads of Einstein & Bohr and other great thinkers behind the quantum revolution & figure out how they acted & reacted to each other. Pretty light on the actual physics, but a very fine supplement to a modern/quantum physics class. It makes the names behind the formulas much more vivid and real.
