Isaacson's portrait touched millions of readers. Einstein: How did his mind work? What made him a genius? Isaacson's biography of Albert Einstein--also the basis for the ten-part National Geographic series starring Geoffrey Rush--shows how Einstein's scientific imagination sprang from the rebellious nature of his personality. His fascinating story is a testament to the connection between creativity and freedom. Benjamin Franklin: In this colorful and intimate narrative, Isaacson provides the full sweep of Ben Franklin's amazing life, showing how the most fascinating Founding Father helped forge the American national identity. Leonardo da Vinci: History's consummate innovator and most creative thinker. Isaacson illustrates how Leonardo's genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy.
