There must be literally hundreds of Albert Einstein books. He was a great opponent of Nazi Germany and, later, McCarthyism in the United States when he moved there. He worked very closely with the Zionist movement. He was a pioneer in physics, but, beyond science, he was a genuine contributor to the development of political ideas in the 20th century. He also worked on statistical thermodynamics. He was one of the very earliest to propose the wave-particle duality and probably the first person to do that in quantum theory. He also made major contributions to quantum mechanics. Relativity is generally regarded as his greatest achievement and it comes in two forms: special relativity (1905) and general relativity (1915) - a hundred years ago this month.
