“…fast-paced and informed…draws upon an impressive array of sources…” (Physicsweb.org, Sept 2005)
“…very well researched and satisfying…” (New Scientist, Oct 2005)
"Denis Brian's Unexpected Einstein ... sets out to debunk myths ..." (The Guardian, 17th September 2005)
Einstein, the scientist who rejected all mythology, has himself become something of a mythological character—a god of the universe. Einstein would have approved of Dennis Brian's demystification of the real genius who used facts to demolish myths. The real Einstein, with his complex views regarding God, politics and life, is far more interesting and human than the mythological caricature.—Alan Dershowitz
