Fuller Integration with Albert Einstein

This is for Holly, or anyone else teetering on the brink of reading Ideas and Opinions , the Einstein book on my list.

I found a review on Amazon which makes it sound kind of enticing, as it's not just gobs and gobs of science.

So here's that review in it's entirety:

"Ideas and Opinions" reveals much about the thought processes, culture, and observations that shaped the character of Albert Einstein. In a remarkable series of insightful short prose selections, the reader learns a great deal about Einstein's views on morality and ethics; religion, particularly Judaism; government; the arts, literature, and higher education; philosophy; and government. His personal letters to and observations about other key persons of his time including Shaw, Freud, Gandhi, and Lorentz illustrate what a fully integrated individual Einstein truly was, a view that may counter some of the extreme depictions that render him a genius incapable of focusing beyond his science.
Having some many thoughts from this astounding intellect pulled into one volume makes this book a worthwhile addition to the stack of rainy day books. It's a book to be consumed in fits and starts, with a cup of coffee on the screened porch in the rain, a treat for inquiring minds.
The prose, perhaps a tad stilted by modern standards, is lucid. And seeing Einstein turn his attention on the topic everyone wrangles with forges a new link to him and his work. As he stated, " The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking."

Best of all, more good news from Amazon, if you purchase this book along with The Genius Factory: The Curious History of the Nobel Prize Sperm Bank you get 5% off. Both for under $23!
