Reviews
Einstein's Berlin will certainly interest readers curious about the life of this important scientist.
This is an engaging book that provides a concise tour of a lesser-known Berlin sprinkled with facts about one of the greatest scientific minds of the last century. It utilizes a variety of primary sources, including archival texts and extended quotations from Einstein. It also features a wealth of images that allow the reader to visualize the architecture, interiors, and personalities of Einstein's Berlin. Furthermore, it is well translated and clearly written.
Hoffman's book provides a detailed, engaged, and competent source of information on Einstein's years in Berlin and succeeds in its aim...
This is a wonderful guidebook for the intellectual tourist deeply interested in Einstein. Nothing this detailed exists, and it is a wonderful complement to the literature on Einstein. The scholarship is superb and the information is absolutely fascinating.
