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...

A portrait of Albert Einstein shares critical insights into both the genius and hubris of modern physics, linking Einstein's popular downfall through the final decades of his life to the same imagination and self-confidence that ignited his early successes.

Presents the life of the renowned physicist, from his privileged childhood to his early struggles to develop the theory of relativity, and his eventual recognition as one of the greatest scientists of the twentieth century.

"Albert Einstein challenged what people believed about the laws of physics. This graphic biography covers Einstein's theories about light, motion, and more, as well as his time in Germany, Switzerland, and the United States"--

""A human being is part of the whole, called by us Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts, and feelings as something separate from the resta kind of optical delusion of his consciousness..." Albert Einstein. When Rabbi Naomi Levy came across this poignant letter by Einstein it shook her to her core. His words perfectly captured what she has come to believe about the human condition:...

Best known for his general theory of relativity and the famous equation linking mass and energy, E = mcp2s, Albert Einstein had a lasting impact on the world of science, the extent of which is illuminated--along with his fascinating life and unique personality--in this lively history. In addition to learning all about Einstein's important contributions to science, from proving the existence and size of atoms and launching the field of quantum mechanics...

The CIA forces twelve-year-old Charlotte "Charlie" Thorne, a rebellious genius, to use her code-breaking skills on an epic global chase to locate Einstein's last equation before dangerous agents discover it and unlock the solution to harnessing energy.
