In the tradition of "The Paris Wife" and "Mrs. Poe," comes the story of Einstein's wife, a brilliant physicist in her own right. Mitza Maric has always been a little different from other girls. Mitza is smart enough to know that, for her, math is an easier path than marriage. And then fellow student Albert Einstein takes an interest in her, and the world turns sideways. Theirs becomes a partnership of the mind and of the heart, but there might not...

Follows the life of the famous physicist, from his early ideas to his groundbreaking theories.

Authoritative and irreverent, sophisticated and fast paced, highly accessible and utterly enjoyable--the Beginners books bring to life complex and important ideas and theories, and describe the lives and times of the people who created them. Einstein for Beginners shows us why moving clocks run slower than stationary ones, why nothing can go faster than the speed of light--and perhaps why Albert's hair always looked like that--and follows the thoughts...

Einstein's idea dramatizes how Einstein arrived at his 1905 discovery that the realms of matter and energy are linked. Reveals the roots of this breakthrough in the human stories of scientists Michael Farady, Antoine Lavoisier and Lise Maitner, whose innovative thinking across four centuries helped lead to E=mc², and ultimately unleashed the power of the atom. Explore space, the quest for life looks at scientific discoveries on Earth and how they...

This photobiography of Albert Einstein publishes to coincide with the year that marks the 100th anniversary of what has been described as Einstein's "miraculous year" and the 50th anniversary of his death. In 1905 Einstein published three important papers describing ideas that changed science forever and eventually had an effect on much of modern life. The most famous of these ideas was his theory of relativity, which took a startling new approach...

A biography of the German-born scientist and pacifist whose theory of relativity revolutionized scientific thinking.

"In 1915, British astronomer Arthur Stanley Eddington was fascinated with Einstein's new theory of general relativity. The theory talks about how forces push and pull objects in space. Einstein said that the sun's gravity could pull and bend light. To test this, astronomers decided to photograph a solar eclipse. The eclipse would allow them to photograph the stars before and during the solar eclipse. If the star's position moved, then it was evidence...

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...
