New York, NY, U.S.A.: Viking Penguin - Virago Press, 2000. First Printing . Trade Paperback. Good. 5" x 8. 416 Pages Indexed. White covers. Moisture exposure to the right bottom reflected in light wrinkling to the front cover and first 75 pages. There are no marks, stamps, or names and excepting the slight wrinkling the interior is faultless. It is a study of the romantic life of Einstein as well as a study of physical science in the early 1900s. It is a biography of one of the brightest minds of the period 1900-1920 and his accomplishments as well as his personal and romantic life. A well-researched work with fifteen pages of notes and 70 bibliographical references. The author has an interesting way of presenting some of the facts of the history of science up to 1900. Contents in twenty-five chapters and Five Parts: Runaways, Relative Motions, The Revolutionary at Home, Gravity's Rainbow and Master of the Universe. It would be a mistake to judge Dennis Overbye's book Einstein in Love: A Scientific Romance by its cover, because this book is as much a story about science at the beginning of the twentieth century as it is a story about the romantic life of one of the great scientific minds of the time. At its heart, this book is a biography of Albert Einstein that focuses specifically on his most productive period as a scientist, a time that spans roughly the years 1900-1920. In the course of 370 pages, it discusses his accomplishments as a scientists and the episodes that were shaping his personal life during this time. Of the two, Einstein's place as a scientist is most well-known to even the most unscientific among us.The fact that Einstein's likeness was recently found on television dancing among the stars while selling something as mundane as a soft drink is a testament to his position as the archetypal scientist in our collective subconscious. And it is to these unscientific masses that Overbye has pitched his book. That doesn't mean that this is not a well-researched work. In fact, quite the opposite is true. The fifteen pages of end notes and 70 bibliographical references attest to the research that has gone into producing it. Rather, it is a warning to mathematicians that they won't attain a deeper understanding of the scientific work of the time by reading this book. They will, however, learn some of the basic facts of the history of science at the end of the nineteenth century., Viking Penguin - Virago Press, 2000, 2.5, Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2006-03-14.
