But in actuality, the brilliant innovator whose Theory of Relativity forever reshaped our understanding of time was a man of his times, always politically engaged and driven by strong moral principles. An avowed pacifist, Einstein's mistrust of authority and outspoken social and scientific views earned him death threats from Nazi sympathizers in the years preceding World War II. To him, science provided not only a means for understanding the behavior of the universe, but a foundation for considering the deeper questions of life and a way for the worldwide Jewish community to gain confidence and pride in itself. Steven Gimbel's biography presents Einstein in the context of the world he lived in, offering a fascinating portrait of a remarkable individual who remained actively engaged in international affairs throughout his life. This revealing work not only explains Einstein's theories in understandable terms, it demonstrates how they directly emerged from the realities of his times and helped create the world we live in today.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aiea Public Library Adult Biography B Einstein Gi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 530.092 Einstein Gi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 530.092 Einstein Gi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Biography B Einstein Gi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 530.092 Einstein Gi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
