Book
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.
