This book provides a unique biography of Albert Einstein based on articles from The New York Times. Over many articles spanning his life and work, the book reconstructs Einstein's most significant life events and reveals intimate details about him. It also offers non-technical explanations of his scientific theories of relativity and unified field theory to make them accessible to general readers. Through some lesser known articles and anecdotes, an unexpected portrait of Einstein emerges.

1. Jean-Marc Ginoux
This book presents a unique portrait of the famous physicist Albert Einstein
entirely based on clippings of a great New-York newspaper: The New York
Times. The impressive number of articles about his life and his works offers
an original approach to this character. It allows rebuilding, on one hand,
almost day to day, the most significant events of his life and, on the other
hand, it enables to highlight some of its most intimate traits that appear
in the interviews he had granted to this newspaper. It also provides a
popularized presentation, devoid of any mathematical development, of
his scientific theories (Special and General Relativity and Unified Field
Theory) which become thus accessible to the layman. At last, through
many unusual and funny anecdotes contained in some unknown articles
an unexpected portrait of Einstein is disclosed.
Jean-Marc Ginoux has a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Toulon and a
