Summary
A rollercoaster ride through the life and ideas of the twentieth century's most famous and controversial scientist in 99 sparkling vignettes.
DROPOUT. PACIFIST. PHYSICIST. CASANOVA. REFUGEE. REBEL. GENIUS.
THINK YOU KNOW EINSTEIN? THINK AGAIN
His face is instantly recognisable. His name is shorthand for genius. Today, he's a figurehead as much as a man, symbolic of things larger than himself: of scientific progress, of the human mind, even of the age. But who was Einstein really?
The Nobel Prize-winning physicist who discovered relativity, black holes and E = mc2, dined with Charlie Chaplin in Hollywood and was the inspiration for (highly radioactive) element 99, Albert Einstein was also a high school dropout with an FBI file 1,400 pages long.
In this audiobook, Samuel Graydon's writing brings history's most famous scientist back to life. From his lost daughter to escaping the Nazis, from his love letters to unlikely inventions, from telling jokes to cheer up his sad parrot Bibo to refusing the Presidency of Israel, through the discoveries and thought experiments that changed science, Einstein in Time and Space tells 99 unforgettable stories of the man who redefined how we view our universe and our place within it.

Einstein’s eccentricity
Some very funny anecdotes about the great man . He was kind and generous and clever in equal measures

A fascinating account of Einstein
I saw Samuel Graydon at the Yeovil Literary Festival where he described this book as a Mosaic Biography.
For me, this mosaic format works really well. This book is a fascinating account of Einstein as a man and a scientist.

Adrift both in time and space
Reads somewhat as if the author could be bothered to write a longer piece of prose as facts are presented in a fragmentary manner, and whilst the discussion of physics is fairly rudimentary, readers without background knowledge may be left scratching their heads. Most annoying, however, is the fact that the narrator sounds as if they are reading a children's story.
