Albert Einstein - Chief Engineer of the Universe : Einstein's Life and Work in Context and Documents of a Life's Pathway

Editorial Reviews
Review
"This volume is a thoroughly enjoyable ramble through the scientific, societal, historical and political landscape that formed both the man and his work." (MAA Reviews, February 17, 2006)

Book Description
Einstein's life and work form a crossroads in the history of knowledge. Many paths of development proceed from his work and touch upon critical contemporary questions concerning the world view of physics just as much as the question of the responsibility and the position of science in society.

Einstein's role in the history of science and his life path through diverse circumstances form an ideal starting point for the exploration of such questions.

Albert Einstein - Chief Engineer of the Universe? This characterization, taken from an envelope addressed to him, corresponds to the Einstein myth that strives to elevate him beyond the sphere of normal people. At the same time, this title refers to the constructed character of our world view. Having been created by human beings, it can be changed by human beings as well.
