Description

I really enjoyed this book - it dives in to the two scientists personal beliefs on many different levels and contrasts their personalities. This is admittedly probably not for someone who has never read a physics biography and more particularly probably not for someone who already does not know something about either character. It IS technically sound and thorough in its analysis. The author seems to pick a topic and then provide a very large amount of his research into the following chapter about the two personalities. It is not a quick, cover-to-cover read, but its in depth analysis is backed up by an extreme amount of research on the topic.
