The New Quotable Einstein  (English, Paperback, Einstein Albert)

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.
