While the world hailed Einstein's genius, his private life was collapsing around him. His marriage to the beautiful, tormented Mileva had failed and he had launched into affairs with a string of comely young women. But at its height, Einstein and Mileva's marriage had been an extraordinary one - a colleague and often fierce adversary, Mileva had been brilliantly matched with the scientific genius, pillow-talking relativity and quantum mysticism. In Einstein in Love, Dennis Overbye presents this greatest of scientific romances in a vivid new light, telling the private story of a young man -a sly firebrand who left personal and professional chaos in his wake - who changed the way we view reality. Separating the man from the myth, this biography restores humanity, individuality and nuance to the most iconic figure in the scientific pantheon.
