Einstein: His Life and Universe

This bio is a must read for all fans of Einstein,
all interested in physics, science, history of science, and in Einstein's theories.
Although this is the abridged version (7 vs 21 hours) you don't feel there's much left out, so much detail is contained in this book.
It covers all aspects of Einstein's life, personal as well as scientific and describes to some detail the steps of thought Einstein was going thru to develop his theories.
It should be easily understood by the non-physicist and bring insights also to the "expert".
I truly enjoyed the read and maybe some time go for the unabridged one :)

I fully recommend the abridged version. The story is concise, yet it's highly cohesive and powerful.

The content of this book is evenly split between the science and personality of Einstein.

Awesome narration.

A little dry but interesting information on a genius. Would reccomend.

This book gets very technical sometimes which makes it hard to follow. I wanted to know more about Einstein as a person not his science.

I can't speak to the unabridged version of this book, but I don't recommend this one to anyone without a background in, or at least a strong interest in physics. The interesting passages about Einstein's life weren't plentiful enough to keep me involved. I do now, however, know more about relativity theories than I did; although that is not why I listened to the book...

This is the abridged version! It's only about 1/3 of the total book. Before you buy it... double check that you want abridged... and not unabridged!

This is the abridged version. It is good but now having finished the book I wish I had chosen the unabridged version.

I would recommend this book to a friend. You don't have to be a science buff to follow the many concepts covered throughout the book, however some knowledge helps to shed light on understanding of the many topics discussed. I was shocked to find out about Einstein's aloofness toward his family.This was a great book! It was easy to listen too and follow.

Of course... when he had his break through moment E=mc2

Make sure you understand this is a abridged version - meaning shortened version of the book! If you want the full version word for word download the unabridged version.

This is a great book about Einstein's life and work. I thought the author explained his contributions very clearly. Neither did he sugar coat Einstein's personal life - definitely not a saint, I felt sorry for his wife.
