Walter Isaacson, the CEO of the Aspen Institute, has been chairman of CNN and the managing editor of Time magazine. He is the author of Einstein: His Life and Universe; Benjamin Franklin: An American Life; and Kissinger: A Biography, and the coauthor of The Wise Men: Six Friends and the World They Made. He lives in Washington, DC.
Biography
Rhodes Scholar, historian, and bestselling author Walter Isaacson began his distinguished career as a journalist -- first for London's Sunday Times, then for The Times-Picayune/States-Item, published in his hometown of New Orleans. He joined Time magazine in 1978, working his way up from political correspondent to managing editor in a little less than two decades. He served for two years as chairman and CEO of the cable TV news network CNN; then, in 2003, he became president of the Aspen Institute, an international nonprofit organization "dedicated to fostering enlightened leadership and open-minded dialogue." In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, he was appointed vice-chairman of the Louisiana Recovery Authority, and he serves on a number of policy-making boards and councils.
In literary circles, Isaacson is best known as the writer of magisterial biographies, scholarly and meticulously researched, yet immensely entertaining. His first book, however, was a collaborative effort. Co-written with award-winning journalist Evan Thomas, and published in 1986, The Wise Men: Six Friends and the World They Made explores the lives of six men who shaped government and public policy in the years following WWII. Examining an era too recent to be called history and too distant to qualify as current affairs, the book received mixed reviews but was universally praised for its ambitious scope and elegant style.
Isaacson's subsequent biographies, all solo efforts (and all critically acclaimed), have chronicled the lives of such disparate figures as Henry Kissinger, Benjamin Franklin, and Albert Einstein. He explains what has drawn him to such widely divergent subjects -- men, who on the surface would appear to have very little in common: "I like writing about people with interesting minds. I try to explore the various aspects of intelligence: common sense, wisdom, creativity, imagination, mental processing power, emotional understanding, and moral values. Which of these traits are the most important? How do they make someone an influential or significant or good person?"
As a scientist, Albert Einstein is undoubtedly the most epic among 20th-century thinkers. Albert Einstein as a man, however, has been a much harder portrait to paint, and what we know of him as a husband, father, and friend is fragmentary at best. With Einstein: His Life and Universe, Walter Isaacson (author of the bestselling biographies Benjamin Franklin and Kissinger) brings Einstein's experience of life, love, and intellectual discovery into brilliant focus. The book is the first biography to tackle Einstein's enormous volume of personal correspondence that heretofore had been sealed from the public, and it's hard to imagine another book that could do such a richly textured and complicated life as Einstein's the same thoughtful justice. Isaacson is a master of the form and this latest opus is at once arresting and wonderfully revelatory. --Anne Bartholomew

评分这本书把爱因斯坦写成了一个活生生的人,一个充满各种欲望和永不妥协的自由主义者。 观其一生,强烈的个人主义和自由主义,绝对的藐视权威和不妥协、不墨守成规,是其人格上的根本特点。他的所有成就都是建立在这些品性的基础上。 他的童年就体现出...
评分读艾萨克森的第二本书,可读性不错。回顾完爱因斯坦这般伟大人物的一生,他在我脑海里变得真实,除了对科学的伟大求索外,一生面对家庭关系上的糟糕,面对反犹,纳粹,麦卡锡主义的种种磨难,始终遵循内心真理,无论是对统一场论的追寻,还是对和平主义的呼吁。他在那个混乱的年代依旧保...
评分This book was quite similar to Steve Jobs. Probably, the author Walter has re-used a lot of words when writing Steve Jobs's biography. But, Einstein did have a lot in common with Jobs as both of them were typical non-conformists. The structure of the book...
评分爱因斯坦以前在我心目中的形象是头发蓬乱的科学天才,有点高高在上不食人间烟火。但是看了这本书才发现,爱因斯坦作为天才的同时,也是一个普通人,一个更让人尊敬的科学伟人。他对学习叛逆,对生活热爱,对爱情炽烈,对科学执着,对和平事业孜孜不倦。他写的情书甚至比现在的...
