Publisher Comments:

Albert Einstein has been named the most important man of the twentieth century. As we look to understand the true nature of the universe with technological tools that weren't even dreamed of in his lifetime, Einstein's formulae remain our best key for decoding it. Einstein 101 explores both his work and his life-public and private. It also features a fascinating plain-language exploration of his famous "thought experiments," which explain how this extraordinary thinker visualized complex concepts. Accessible to all adults interested in the man, his life, and his work.
