"Gerald Holton, like many scientists, is deeply affronted by people who think science is overrated, creatively inferior to the arts and responsible for most of our troubles. Setting out to show such people how wrong they are, he bases his argument on the life and work of Albert Einstein....In this short book he distills a lifetime of reflection on Einstein. It is rich stuff, scanning the entire history of science and relating it to much else in our culture, notably literature."Holton, Gerald is the author of 'Enstein, History, and Other Passions The Rebellion Against Science at the End of the Twentieth Century', published 2000 under ISBN 9780674004337 and ISBN 0674004337.
