Trade Review
"Vucinich's book will interest historians of science. . . . Upper-division undergraduates through faculty." -- Choice
"This book will be of interest to historians and philosophers of science. . . . Both in person and his writings, Alexander Vucinich made difficult subjects accessible and provided the foundations for others to extend studies into the history and philosophy of Soviet science." -- Slavic Review
"A rich meditation on cosmology, science, ethics, and the question of whether the modern world can afford unitary truths, Einstein is a fitting final gift of Vucinich, who passed away in May 2000." Common Knowledge
"For anyone with an interest in the relations between science and culture in the Soviet Union and Russia, the book is essential reading." * Slavic and East European Journal *
