The New Quotable Einstein

<p>For the first time in paperback, here is a newly expanded edition of the best-selling book that was hailed as "setting a new standard" for quotation books. Tens of thousands of readers have enjoyed <i>The Quotable Einstein</i> and <i>The Expanded Quotable Einstein</i>, with translations into twenty-two languages. This updated edition--which appears on the 100th anniversary of Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity and the 50th anniversary of Einstein's death--offers more than 300 new quotations, or over 1,200 altogether. Nearly all are by Einstein himself and a few are about the self-professed "lone wolf" <i>Time</i> magazine named "Man of the Century" at the turn of the millennium.</p> <br> <br> <p><i>The New Quotable Einstein</i> also includes a new section, "On Aging," and fresh material has been added to the appendix-from a touching account by Helen Dukas of Einstein's last days to a day-by-day summary of Johanna Fantova's telephone conversations with Einstein during the final year and a half of his life.</p> <br> <br> <p>Also included are a poem called "Einstein," by Robert Service; and three virtually unknown verses to the song "As Time Goes By" (made famous in the movie <i>Casablanca</i>) that refer to Einstein. New photographs have been selected to introduce each section of the book.</p> <br> <br> <p>Through well-documented quotations and supplementary information, <i>The New Quotable Einstein</i> provides a bigger and better biographical account of this multifaceted man-as son, husband, father, lover, scientist, philosopher, aging widower, humanitarian, and friend. It shows us even more vividly why the real and imagined Einstein continues to fascinate people across the world into the twenty-first century.</p> <ul> <li><br></li> <li>300-plus new quotations, more than 1,200 in all</li> <li><br></li> <li>A day-by-day summary of Johanna Fantova's phone conversations with Einstein toward the end of his life</li> <li><br></li> <li>A touching account of Einstein's last days</li> <li><br></li> <li>A new section, "On Aging"</li> <li><br></li> <li>Three virtually unknown original verses of the song "As Time Goes By" (from the movie <i>Casablanca</i>) that refer to Einstein</li> <li><br></li> <li>Robert Service's poem "Einstein"</li> <li><br></li> </ul>
