Alone Against Gravity by Thomas Dew Padova



This is a book about Albert Einstein from the years 1914-1918.   It is dry.  I enjoyed the history but the physics didn’t do a lot for me.   The changes in Europe were fascinating.   Historically speaking Serbia was a big deal in the early 1900s where today it is regarded, fairly or not, as a third world country.

Einstein may have been a genius but he was not someone whose personal life you would want to emulate.   His mores left a lot to be desired as well as his overall disposition.   Assuming the author did his research,  Albert Einstein lost the super hero glow that I had previously ascribed to him.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
