'Einstein Lived Here' (1994) by Abraham Pais is a concise yet richly informed collection of essays that brings together biographical reflection, scientific exposition, and cultural history to illuminate Albert Einstein’s life and intellectual context. Pais—himself a distinguished physicist and one of Einstein’s most authoritative biographers—combines personal familiarity with archival scholarship to trace Einstein’s scientific achievements alongside the political and moral dilemmas that shaped his public role in the twentieth century. "'Einstein Lived Here' is the ideal Einstein book for non-physicists - a collection of charming sketches that brings Einstein to life in a variety of relationships" (Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., Pulitzer Prize-winning historian).
