Einstein’s Monsters: The Life and Times of Black Holes

byChris Impey

Einstein’s Monsters is Chris Impey's science narrative of the Life and Times of Black Holes. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the wider field of science. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning. The approach makes a specialized subject understandable without stripping away its tensions or ambiguity.
