Einstein in Time and Space - A Life in 99 Particles

The first book from Samuel Graydon, the brilliant 28-year-old science editor of the TLS , it will take a refreshingly different and irreverent (and highly Einstein-appropriate) approach to its subject. ''Some particles will be very short, some longer. One particle might simply be an extract from Einstein''s fascinating, one thousand-page FBI file; or a list of references to him in song lyrics; while others will be essays about his scientific theories or the historical moment. Some will tackle themes of Einstein''s life, such as his relationship with God, or his sister; others will take one particular episode as their subject, such as the time in 1931 that Einstein was initiated into the Native American Hopi Tribe. Although the book ranges throughout space and time, with moments from Einstein''s later life sometimes contrasted with those from his youth, it will nevertheless be arranged broadly chronologically, to create the feel of a traditional biography, without the admirable (but dull) obligation to be comprehensive.''
