Biography

Rhodes Scholar, historian, and bestselling author Walter Isaacson began his distinguished career as a journalist -- first for London's Sunday Times, then for The Times-Picayune/States-Item, published in his hometown of New Orleans. He joined Time magazine in 1978, working his way up from political correspondent to managing editor in a little less than two decades. He served for two years as chairman and CEO of the cable TV news network CNN; then, in 2003, he became president of the Aspen Institute, an international nonprofit organization "dedicated to fostering enlightened leadership and open-minded dialogue." In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, he was appointed vice-chairman of the Louisiana Recovery Authority, and he serves on a number of policy-making boards and councils.

In literary circles, Isaacson is best known as the writer of magisterial biographies, scholarly and meticulously researched, yet immensely entertaining. His first book, however, was a collaborative effort. Co-written with award-winning journalist Evan Thomas, and published in 1986, The Wise Men: Six Friends and the World They Made explores the lives of six men who shaped government and public policy in the years following WWII. Examining an era too recent to be called history and too distant to qualify as current affairs, the book received mixed reviews but was universally praised for its ambitious scope and elegant style.

Isaacson's subsequent biographies, all solo efforts (and all critically acclaimed), have chronicled the lives of such disparate figures as Henry Kissinger, Benjamin Franklin, and Albert Einstein. He explains what has drawn him to such widely divergent subjects -- men, who on the surface would appear to have very little in common: "I like writing about people with interesting minds. I try to explore the various aspects of intelligence: common sense, wisdom, creativity, imagination, mental processing power, emotional understanding, and moral values. Which of these traits are the most important? How do they make someone an influential or significant or good person?"

As a scientist, Albert Einstein is undoubtedly the most epic among 20th-century thinkers. Albert Einstein as a man, however, has been a much harder portrait to paint, and what we know of him as a husband, father, and friend is fragmentary at best. With Einstein: His Life and Universe, Walter Isaacson (author of the bestselling biographies Benjamin Franklin and Kissinger) brings Einstein's experience of life, love, and intellectual discovery into brilliant focus. The book is the first biography to tackle Einstein's enormous volume of personal correspondence that heretofore had been sealed from the public, and it's hard to imagine another book that could do such a richly textured and complicated life as Einstein's the same thoughtful justice. Isaacson is a master of the form and this latest opus is at once arresting and wonderfully revelatory. --Anne Bartholomew

爱因斯坦以前在我心目中的形象是头发蓬乱的科学天才,有点高高在上不食人间烟火。但是看了这本书才发现,爱因斯坦作为天才的同时,也是一个普通人,一个更让人尊敬的科学伟人。他对学习叛逆,对生活热爱,对爱情炽烈,对科学执着,对和平事业孜孜不倦。他写的情书甚至比现在的...

1. 看《爱因斯坦传》有两个印象很深刻的地方,当他在专利局工作时,刚开始他每天要花8小时做自己份内的工作,后来他用2-3小时做完每天的工作,剩下的时间就可以做自己的思考。 另外无论是爱因斯坦,还是富兰克林,有一个共同点是他们都组织或参与了读书会,一起读书,相互交流...

从一个无畏无知的孩童起,把他的好奇心和求知欲一直保持下去,这是我们每个人都特别需要的?对大自然的终极敬畏,对自由的热爱,对传统的叛逆,摒弃了主宰科学数百年的传统思想成就了爱因斯坦的伟大。爱因斯坦对人类未来,对宇宙的思考,对于世界未来的看法,在政治家看来是荒...
