E = Einstein: His Life, His Thought, and His Influence on Our Culture
I did find most of this book fascinating from the scientific angle as well as getting to know his personality, but the book is somewhat redundant since so many author's essays are included. After the fifth or sixth explanation of the special theory of relativity I became a bit bored. The saving grace of the book is that just when you think a chapter is rehashing the same old stuff, something truly wonderful is there. I would recommend this book, just keep an open mind when you feel you are rereading parts.
