The book doesn’t quite flatten Einstein into myth, but you can see the edges of that process happening—how a person becomes a figure, and how a figure becomes something easier to understand than the ideas they left behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1877\" data-end=\"1947\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaladin paperback edition, reprinted 1977 (originally published 1973). Good overall condition: binding solid, pages intact with light age toning throughout.
