«Albert Einstein's Vision» is a popular science essay by Barry R. Parker, published by Prometheus Books in hardcover (286 pages, in English).
Barry R. Parker explains how Einstein's ideas went beyond relativity: curved space, cosmological constant, black holes, wormholes, gravitational waves, cosmic lenses, quantum theory and time travel. He also addresses Einstein's uneasy relationship with atomic weapons, his pacifism, his search for a unified theory and the link between his work and superstrings.
The book, subtitled «Remarkable Discoveries That Shaped Modern Science», completes Parker's trilogy on Einstein, preceded by «Einstein's Brainchild» and «Einstein's Passions».
A suitable read for those interested in popular science, the history of physics and Einstein's intellectual legacy.
