Publisher's Note
Gerald Holton uses the life and work of our century's greatest scientist to warn against today's gathering Romantic rebellion, one in which science is blamed for our social and environmental problems, and in which reason is being replaced by New Age 'ways of knowing.' Through his rich exploration of Einstein's thought, the author shows how the best science depends on great intuitive leaps of imagination, and how science is indeed the creative expression of the traditions of Western civilization. Wide-ranging and forceful, this book is must reading for anyone interested in the place of science in our world.
Industry reviews
"Gerald Holton, like many scientists, is deeply affronted by people who think science is overrated, creatively inferior to the arts and responsible for most of our troubles. Setting out to show such people how wrong they are, he bases his argument on the life and work of Albert Einstein....In this short book he distills a lifetime of reflection on Einstein. It is rich stuff, scanning the entire history of science and relating it to much else in our culture, notably literature." New York Times Book Review - Dennis Flanagan (09/22/1996) "Holton fuses science and history to create a complex and fascinating chronicle of Western scientific thought and the way in which it has shaped our lives." Bloomsbury Review - Tracy Hay
