Andrew Robinson has written more than twenty-five books on an unusual range of subjects: science and the history of science; ancient scripts, writing systems and archaeological decipherment; and Indian history and culture. They include six biographies: of the physicist Albert Einstein (A Hundred Years of Relativity) and the polymath Thomas Young (The Last Man Who Knew Everything); of the decipherers Jean-Francois Champollion (Cracking the Egyptian Code) and Michael Ventris (The Man Who Deciphered Linear B); and of the Indian writer Rabindranath Tagore (The Myriad-Minded Man) and the Indian film director Satyajit Ray (The Inner Eye). His most recent books, The Indus: Lost Civilizations, Earth-Shattering Events: Earthquakes, Nations and Civilization, and Einstein on the Run: How Britain Saved the World's Greatest Scientist, combine his interest in archaeology, history, India and science.
