Dead Famous: Albert Einstein and His Inflatable Universe, by Dr. Mike Goldsmith, is a special collection of real life incidents of the world's most celebrated physicist. It reveals the stories of his life that are quirky and surprisingly funny. Summary of the Book Among the numerous works that are written on Einstein's extraordinary feats in the world of physics and his personal life, Mike Goldsmith's Albert Einstein and His Inflatable Universe stands apart through its peculiar perspective towards the life of the ultimate genius. The book delves into his life very differently while revisiting the times of Albert Einstein, and picks up the unheard stories about his personal eccentricities and life. Although Relativity and his unparalleled contribution towards classical mechanics are inevitable to be included in the works pertaining Einstein, this book has a very subtle lighter intonation while talking about them, thereby making it comprehensible even to readers with no scientific background. One of the fascinating features about the book is that it also scoops up stories from the newspapers of his times and other relevant sources which offer a fresh take on the Master and his life. The book contains illustrations by Philip Reeve. About Mike Goldsmith Dr. Mike Goldsmith, a celebrated British Physicist, is famous for his non-fiction books on topics related to physics and space.
