Previously published articles, speeches, and letters are gathered here to create a fascinating collection of meditations by one of the world's greatest minds. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Disagree at times, but simply genius!"Ideas & Opinions" is one of those books that makes you kinda laugh to yourself at reading some of the passages and hit yourself and think, "well, that makes sense!" It's an interesting look at the issues and thought processes which shaped the way Albert Einstein would live his life and lead his astonishing career. He tackles many difficult issues, including but certainly not limited to religion and war. I don't always agree with his viewpoints on issues, especially war, but there ... Read More Rating: - fascinatingThis is a great book to read on Einstein. It is a selection of papers and speeches taken over his lifetime (notably the first half of the twentieth century), grouped by subject matter (pacifism, the Jews, etc.). His language certainly advances in later years. The last section deals with his scientific works, where one can also see progression. One also sees him as a man of his times, commenting on institutions such as the League of Nations and the UN. Highly recommended. Rating:  - wonderful readingAll my life I have heard wonderful things about the brilliance of Einstein. I had been told he was brilliant but complex and hard to understand - they were wrong. I am sure that trying to understand his equations would make the mind spin, but he wrote far more then just equations. The writings here give real insight into the man - these are documents written by him for newspapers, interviews, and such. These show the man Einstein and his personal views from politics (and war) to his ... Read More Rating: - The hobo PhilosopherAt $5.99, I would say this book is for free. Albert Einstein says more in one sentence than other intelligent writers can say in 10 pages. There is so much thought in this book that it boggles the mind. As I read the book, I found myself doing more thinking than reading. After each line or paragraph, I would find myself laying the book in my lap and thinking about what Albert just said. There is not one essay in this book that does not have something important to say and think about. On occasion I ...

It takes you into the mind of a absolutely brilliant man to see his "ideas and opinions", sorry for the pun. Honestly, i wasnt expecting a collection of his letters/speeches/lectures..etc but it was a nice surprise. It's much better than having some author display how they 'assumed' he thought. The book can be tough to read at times (keep in mind he is a genius) but you can always search for certain topics that interest you. Everything from ... Read More
