Title: More than a mouthful
Review: Warning: this is no leisure read.Although not as many pages as one would expect of any relationship to Einstein and relativity, Yourgrau certainly puts 500 pages in a 200 page book. This is not to say that he skims over the topics, rather the reader find a continuous wave of topics flowing and breaking from the one to the other.If you are really interested in Einstein, this is good way of seeing another side of his life. If Godel is the main interest, then I think you will struggle to find a more devout advocate than Yourgrau. He seems to know his stuff when it comes Godel.In the end you can hardly keep yourself from feeling sorry for Godel, empowered by Yourgrau, and keen to phone him up and sign up for the anti-(anti-Godel)establishment.There are so much more to learn from Godel. We need the right soul to open our eyes. This is but the first step.Recommended.
