ā€œWhat Bodanis does brilliantly is to give us a feel for Einstein as a person. I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever read a book that does this as well . . . Whenever thereā€™s a chance for storytelling, Bodanis triumphs.ā€ ā€”Popular Science
 
ā€œFascinating.ā€ ā€”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. Yet in the final decades of his life, he was ignored by most working scientists, and his ideas were opposed by even his closest friends. How did this happen? 

Best-selling biographer David Bodanis traces the arc of Einsteinā€™s lifeā€”from the skeptical, erratic student to the worldā€™s most brilliant physicist to the fallen-from-grace celebrity. An intimate biography in which ā€œtheories of the universe morph into theories of lifeā€ (Times, London), Einsteinā€™s Greatest Mistake reveals what we owe Einstein todayā€”and how much more he might have achieved if not for his all-too-human flaws.
