Review # 1 was written on 2013-10-05 00:00:00 Deborah Tillberg An excellent book that explores the history of early-20th century physics in the context of the debates and relationships among the greatest physicists of the day. Not only does the author illuminate their personalities, foibles, failings and triumphs, but he does so using the backdrop of historic events, and is able to clearly enunciate the ideas they were discussing in terms understood by the non-physicist. One point that I exceptionally enjoyed was reading about Einstein and learning that his genius was not just in being smart and knowing stuff, but the creative, imaginative genius that grasped the "big picture" so intuitively that he couldn't help but make leaps and bounds that mere mortals would never have seen. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone interested in the history of physics and how we understand our world today.
