This updated edition--which appears on the 100th anniversary of Einstein''s special theory of relativity and the 50th anniversary of Einstein''s death--offers more than 300 new quotations, or 1,200 altogether. For the first time in paperback, here is a newly expanded edition of the best-selling book that was hailed as "setting a new standard" for quotation books. Tens of thousands of readers have enjoyed "The Quotable Einstein" and "The Expanded Quotable Einstein," with translations into twenty-two languages. This updated edition--which appears on the 100th anniversary of Einstein''s Special Theory of Relativity and the 50th anniversary of Einstein''s death--offers more than 300 new quotations, or over 1,200 altogether. Nearly all are by Einstein himself and a few are about the self-professed "lone wolf" "Time" magazine named "Man of the Century" at the turn of the millennium. "The New Quotable Einstein" also includes a new section, "On Aging," and fresh material has been added to the appendix-from a touching account by Helen Dukas of Einstein''s last days to a day-by-day summary of Johanna Fantova''s telephone conversations with Einstein during the final year and a half of his life.
