Einstein,
History, and Other Passions: The Rebellion Against Science at the End of
the Twentieth Century
by Gerald Holton
In Einstein, History, and Other Passions, Gerald Holton, a professor
of physics and the history of science at Harvard University, dispels the
idea that science is creatively inferior to the arts. By focusing on the
life and work of Albert Einstein, Holton illustrates that the practical
nature of science flows from the creative pursuit of knowledge for knowledge's
sake. Holton reminds us that some of Einstein's greatest work was conducted
at a time when he was madly in love and argues that scientists, like artists,
are driven by a passion to explore and create. They do science, he says,
not for prestige, but simply because they find it impossible not to. Amazon.com

Einstein's
Dreams
by Alan P. Lightman
Einstein's Dreams became a bestseller by delighting both scientists
and humanists. It is technically a novel. Lightman uses simple, lyrical,
and literal details to locate Einstein precisely in a place and time--Berne,
Switzerland, spring 1905, when he was a patent clerk privately working
on his bizarre, unheard-of theory of relativity. Amazon.com

The
Einstein File: J. Edgar Hoover's Secret War Against the World's Most Famous
Scientist
by Fred Jerome
From 1933 until 1955, the Federal Bureau of Investigation compiled
a 2,000-page file on Albert Einstein, hoping to "destroy" his immense stature
by linking him to Soviet espionage activities. At one point, not long before
the scientist's death, a serious attempt was made to have him deported.
This alarming campaign--responsible in large part for Einstein's exclusion
from the Manhattan Project--is the subject of Fred Jerome's The Einstein
File. Einstein's disloyalty, in the FBI's view, was clearly evidenced by
his adamant political stances. He was a socialist, a pacifist (though he
advocated war with Germany), and an outspoken foe of McCarthyism, nuclear
war, and racism. Jerome's skillful narrative weaves the file's hateful
(and often ludicrously inaccurate) entries with American political history,
creating an invaluable context for both Einstein's views and the FBI's
actions. Further, Jerome points to the more recent "sanitizing" of Einstein,
from angry activist to "genial, absent-minded professor." This is a fascinating,
compelling tale, one that reads like the strangest of fictions. --H.
