description

In Einstein in Bohemia, Michael Gordin seeks to illuminate the elusive sig­nificance of Einstein9s brief tenure in Prague, both for the biography of the famous physi­cist and for the cultural history of Bohemia. An expert in the his­tory of modern physical sciences and of Russian, European, and American history, Gordin pulls together a wealth of infor­mation about the wider context of Einstein9s stay in Prague and of the cultural, scientific, and political history of Bohemia.
