Isaacsonâs biography shows how Einsteinâs scientific imagination sprang from the rebellious nature of his personality. His fascinating story is a testament to the connection between creativity and freedom. Einstein explores how an imaginative, impertinent patent clerkâa struggling father in a difficult marriage who couldnât get a teaching job or a doctorateâbecame the mind reader of the creator of the cosmos, the locksmith of the mysteries of the atom, and the universe. His success came from questioning conventional wisdom and marveling at mysteries that struck others as mundane. This led him to embrace a morality and politics based on respect for free minds, free spirits, and free individuals. 541 $d 20170502. 600 17 $a Einstein, Albert, $d 1879-1955. 600 17 $a Einstein, Albert $d 1879-1955 $x Friends and associates. 650 4 $a Movie Tie In. 650 07 $a Physicists $x Biography. 650 0 $a Relativity (Physics.) 650 0 $a Unified field theories. 650 7 $a Movie or Television Tie-In. 655 7 $a Biographies. 655 7 $a Nonfiction. 655 7 $a Movie novels. 941 $a 1 952 $l JKPC771 $d 20170823010704.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6399A3D087C811E7827CAD1F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
