Albert Einstein

0/5 ( ratings)

Albert Einstein: his name has become a synonym for genius. His wild case of bedhead and playful sense of humor made him a media superstar--the first, maybe only, scientist-celebrity.

He wasn't much for lab work--in fact he had a tendency to blow up experiments. What he liked to do was think--not in words, but in "thought experiments." What was the result of all his thinking? Nothing less than the overturning of Newtonian physics.

Once again, Kathleen Krull delivers a witty and astute look at one of the true Giants of Science, and the turbulent times in which he lived.
