About the Book

Einstein was not only an extraordinary scientist, but also a person who faced his social responsibilities determinedly. The main focus of this book is put on topical articles by Scientific and Peace Nobel Prize laureates, prominent scientists and those committed to peace issues and justice, as well as citizens engagement for peace. Among the contributors are more than 10 Nobel Prize laureates, such as Mikhail Gorbatschow, Walter Kohn, Joseph Rotblat, Alexander Ginzburg or Hans Bethe.

Review :
"Recommended." (CHOICE, March 2006) "...a tribute to Albert Einstein's constant and tireless efforts for world peace and social equity. It presents Albert Einstein as a peace advocate and less as a dedicated scientist." (Environmental Engineering and Management Journal)
