Einstein, History, and Other Passions (Masters of Modern Physics) Hardcover – Import, 1 April 1995

Physicist, historian, and cultural critic Holton (physics and history of science, Harvard U.) begins with an exploration of Albert Einstein's life and work, including his contributions to fields besides science and his romantic but ultimately tragic relationship with Mileva Marfc; moves into how scientific knowledge is created, the public's expectations of science, and the development of standards against which to judge scientific results; and ends with his own insights into teaching, and profiles of notable physicists and their roles in history.
