Review:
Driving Mr. Albert is a bizarre and fascinating true story. In 1955, pathologist Thomas Harvey performed Einstein's autopsy and, without permission, removed and preserved the great physicist's brain. Decades later, journalist Michael Paterniti tracked down the elderly Dr. Harvey and convinced him to take a road trip across America with Einstein's brain in a Tupperware container. This book chronicles that journey, weaving together reflections on life, death, science, genius, and obsession. A unique blend of travel writing, biography, and philosophical meditation – unforgettable and thought-provoking
