Whenever there's a chance for storytelling, Bodanis triumphs.' Popular Science ';Fascinating.' Forbes Widely considered the greatest genius of all time, Albert Einstein revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos with his general theory of relativity and helped lead us into the atomic age.

How did this happen?Best-selling biographer David Bodanis traces the arc of Einstein's lifefrom the skeptical, erratic student to the world's most brilliant physicist to the fallen-from-grace celebrity. An intimate biography in which ';theories of the universe morph into theories of life' (Times, London), Einstein's Greatest Mistake reveals what we owe Einstein todayand how much more he might have achieved if not for his all-too-human flaws.
