"Thanks to Michio Kaku, you don't have to be an Einstein to understand Einstein. Einstein's Cosmos weaves together Einstein's life and science the way Einstein himself wove together time and space." Dr Ken Croswell, author of Magnificent Universe "Michio Kaku beautifully interweaves the story of Albert Einstein's career with Einstein's stunning insights into cosmology, from relativity and black holes to dark energy and the search for a unified theory of all the forces in the universe." Donald Goldsmith, author of The Runaway Universe "Engaging... while this is fully a biography, succinctly revisiting Einstein's difficult childhood and unpromising early career, his two marriages and his emergence as a 20th-century cultural icon, the guiding thread is undoubtedly the evolution of his ideas." SUNDAY TELEGRAPH "If you want to read what all the fuss is about [ Einstein's "miraculous year], read Michio Kaku's authoritative offering." NEW SCIENTIST
