This enlarged and updated version offers even more fascinating insight into Time magazine's 'Man of the Century.' THE EXPANDED QUOTABLE EINSTEIN includes about 375 new quotations and covers topics that have recently appeared in the media--such as the most current research on Einstein's brain, the possible collaboration of his wife Mileva on his work, and the newly discovered love letters that Einstein sent to an alleged Soviet spy. An entirely new section on music has been added, the section on science has been expanded greatly, and new photographs add fresh visual appeal. Finally, the new appendix contains an account of the editor's personal peek into the FBI's Einstein file and shows us Einstein's famous letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, which ushered in the atomic age in the United States." [jacket copy] "Masquerading as a quote book, this title may set a new standard for the genre as well as expand the concept.
