Reviews"Of all the books I have read about Einstein, this is the only one that is easy and fun to read, and yet is highly informative. Ze'ev Rosenkranz teaches us about Albert Einstein, the man and his passions."--David B. Rosenfeld, Jewish Herald Voice, "This is pure enjoyment. The Einstein Scrapbook contains, of course, a short and good biography and concise summaries of Einstein's most famous work and his other contributions to science, as well as his involvement in world politics and peace, all of which have been covered thoroughly elsewhere and many times. But it's the photographs that make the most impact. He could be solemn and dignified and also a clown. He was more than a little an actor and this is delightfully obvious in these pictures. On looks alone Einstein could have been a supporting player in Hollywood films at any stage of his life. The humanity demonstrated here is uplifting."--Roy Herbert, New Scientist, "The Einstein Scrapbook is a brilliant book chronicling the life of a brilliant man... I applaud what Rosenkranz has accomplished: the almost impossible task of capturing the entirety of a giant of a man who is both real and an abstraction, a thinking man who moves beyond flesh and has become a concept unto himself." -- Thomas Fortenberry, Midwest Book Review, "This thinking-man's coffee-table book [is] a handsomely produced tome that pays due tribute to one of the greatest minds in history. At the very least, The Einstein Scrapbook helps answer why its subject has been the object of such other-worldly adulation. It is not just for his alleged super-human powers of mind and character qualities he shared with at least a half-dozen of his scientific contemporaries, among them Max Planck, Niels Bohr, and Enrico Fermi. As this book repeatedly makes clear, it was Einstein's very human qualities, in combination with his almost super-human intellect, that made him such an exemplary figure."--Calev Ben-David, Jerusalem Post, "An excellent, highly accessible book... The book is profusely illustrated and contains some fine examples of Einstein's doggerels and quirky humor." -- Tom Tugend, Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles, "An engaging kaleidoscope of documents and photographs from Einstein's personal effects. The collection provides an interesting window through which to view this icon's scientific, political, and social contributions."-- Science News
