(Freud and Einstein)
Alvin and Larry Ubell, the self-appointed "Gurus of How-To," discuss the nuts and bolts of home repair. Richard Panek delves into the similarities between Einstein and Freud in his book The Invisible Century. Then Edmund Blair Bolles takes a look at the scientific strife between Einstein and Neils Bohr in his book Einstein Defiant. And we’ll hear from Carl Hiaasen on his latest novel, Skinny Dip.
