9780309089982: Einstein Defiant: Genius Versus Genius in the Quantum Revolution

Sinossi

This is not a biography, and not a popular science account of relativity, but partakes of both: Bolles' interest is in explaining why one of the greatest modern physicists (Einstein) was so vehemently opposed to one of the greatest modern theories of physics (quantum mechanics). Following this design, he gives a detailed (but nonmathematical) description of relativity, in order to contrast it with quantum physics, and a fair amount of biographical information on Einstein, in order to give psychological insight to his recalcitrance. References and an index are provided, but the publisher provides scanty information on the author himself. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
