"This is a book that I never would have chosen on my own, but my friend insisted that I read it. She is a lot smarter than me so it was easy for her to understand, but I have to admit that it was kind of interesting to read not only about Einstein's theories but also about his personal life. I actually struggled to get through some of it but I am glad that I read it. It has made me want to learn about physic's."
"quite a decent book on Einstein and his thoeries. Helped me reinforce the value of simplicity in profound thought. Sometimes it did get a bit dense but it woudl reward the reader if he sticks through it. it makes great sens eto read this along with "e=mc2 - the biography of an equation" and the "dead famous - einstien". I am still feeling a little warped from reading all that physics."
"I hadn't heard of Michio Kaku prior to reading "The Lightness of Being" and having a sudden desire to check out some similar books, but apparently he's quite a superstar of physics. This is quite a good book, although I think Carl Sagan did a better job of describing some of Einstein's concepts for the layperson. Kaku does a beautiful job of integrating Einstein's life and times with his work and illustrating the way in which physicists throughout the centuries have built on and played off each others' ideas. Unfortunately this book is a few years old, and thus it wraps up with descriptions of superstring theory and M-theory, ideas that seem to have gone out of vogue with the cosmologist community."
