About this book

Subtle Is the Lord, by Abraham Pais, covers the science and the life of Albert Einstein, for readers fascinated by the man whose ideas defined modern physics. Oxford University Press issued this 584-page paperback in 2005, which was designated the World Year of Physics to mark one hundred years since Einstein’s Theory of Relativity was published.

Pais had complete access to the Einstein Archives while preparing the book, along with guidance from Helen Dukas, formerly Einstein’s private secretary. The book draws on Pais’s close knowledge of Einstein and sets his scientific work alongside his life.
