Acclaim for Denis Brian's A Life "The best account.... Superb insight." --The Times (London) "Denis Brian's convincing picture...only makes our wonder grow at Einstein's sublime achievements." --The Washington Post "Does much to reveal the man behind the image.... Brian's intimate work proves that in literature, as in science, taking a careful look can be a rewarding endeavor." --Detroit Free Press "A fascinating, vastly enjoyable, deeply researched and fair account of Einstein the man." --Physics World "Exhaustively researched, almost obsessively detailed, written with unobtrusive informality, the book is exemplary as a record of Einstein's personal and professional life." --The Spectator (u.k.) "An utterly fascinating life of a great scientist, full of new insights and very readable." --Ashley Montagu "A fascinating read with more interesting material about Einstein as a human being than I have ever seen before.... Once I started it, I couldn't put it down." --Robert Jastrow, astrophysicist and bestselling author
