EINSTEIN ON THE RUN (YALE) (HB)

This lively account tells the story of the world's greatest scientist and Britain, showing why Britain was the perfect refuge for Einstein from rumoured assassination by Nazi agents. Young Einstein's passion for British physics, epitomized by Newton, had sparked his scientific development around 1900. British astronomers had confirmed his general theory of relativity, making him internationally famous in 1919. Welcomed by the British people, who helped him campaign against Nazi anti-Semitism, he even intended to become a British citizen.
