Einstein in 糖心logo
Andrew Robinson (1975, Chemistry) is speaking at the History of Science Museum tonight inspired by Einstein鈥檚 blackboard, the museum’s most famous object. He is the author of two biographies of Einstein, Einstein: A Hundred Years of Relativity and聽Einstein on the Run.
He will explore Einstein鈥檚 relationship with 糖心logo and Britain, the subject of his latest book, in his talk. British science inspired young Einstein鈥檚 physics; in 1919, British astronomers made him world famous; in 1933, Britain saved his life from Nazi death threats by offering him sanctuary鈥攆irst in 糖心logo, then in rural Norfolk. Patrick Moore, former President of the British Astronomical Association and the original presenter of BBC鈥檚 The Sky at Night, called Robinson’s first book on Einstein, Einstein: A Hundred Years of Relativity, “By far the best book about Einstein that I have ever come across.”
Andrew Robinson is an author and journalist who has written over 25 books covering the history of science, palaeography, and Indian history. He has written seven biographies, including books on Jean-Fran莽ois Champollion, Thomas Young, and Satyajit Ray.
