Synopsis
Tall, handsome, and charismatic, Edwin Hubble moved as easily around circles of celebrity as through the halls of science. He was courted by the cream of Hollywood society -- Frank Capra, Anita Loos, Charlie Chaplin -- and was friendly with the California emigre community, which included Thomas Mann, Bertolt Brecht, and Sergey Eisenstein. This volume is at once a revealing portrait of scientific genius, an incisive, engaging history of ideas, and a shimmering evocation of what we see when gazing at the stars.

Publisher's Note
Edwin Hubble's life emerges as the engrossing tale of a talented man in search of something worthy of his commitment, who fails to find it within himself or in the world around him, and is driven to the remotest edge of the universe before he discovers it. A fascinating view of how the scientific elite lived in the period between the world wars...This is one of the most impressive scientific biographies of recent years.

Industry Reviews
"Hubble's own story has not been adequately told until now....A riveting portrait of a great scientist and a haunted man, and the best look we are likely to have of the real Hubble."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Dennis Overbye
