Description: ALBERT EINSTEIN THREE BOOKS EINSTEIN FOR BEGINNERS (Illustrated Edition) By Joseph Schwartz & Michael McGuinness 2003 Pantheon Books Trade Paperback, 173 pages ALBERT EINSTEIN - CREATOR & REBEL By Baneth Hoffman with the Collaboration of Helen Dukas 1973 New American Library Trade Paperback, 272 pages IDEAS & OPINIONS By Albert Einstein 1988 Bonanza Books Hardcover, 377 pages EINSTEIN FOR BEGINNERS: Reaching back as far as Babylon (for the origins of mathematics) and the Etruscans (who thought they could handle lightning), this book takes us through the revolutions in electrical communications and technology that made the theory of relativity possible. In the process, we meet scientific luminaries and personalities of imperial Germany, as well as Galileo, Faraday, and Newton; learn why moving clocks run slower than stationary ones, why nothing can go faster than the speed of light; and follow Albert's thought as he works his way toward E = mc2, the most famous equation of the twentieth century. ALBERT EINSTEIN - CREATOR & REBEL: Written by a friend and scientific collaborator with Albert Einstein, this remarkable study is a model of what a biography of a scientist should be. On these pages, we come to know Albert Einstein as the backward child; the academic outcast; the reluctant world celebrity; the exile; the pacifist; the philosopher; the humanitarian; the tragically saddened father of the atomic bomb; and above all, the unceasing searcher after scientific truth. At the same time, we are given a superb and essential introduction to the creative process and the concepts that shattered an age-old view of the universe and ushered in a revolution whose reverberations continue to touch us all. IDEAS & OPINIONS: Contains essays by eminent scientist Albert Einstein on subjects ranging from atomic energy, relativity, and religion to human rights, government, and economics. Previously published articles, speeches, and letters are gathered here to create a fascinating collection of meditations by one of the world's greatest minds. Books are in good to very good condition.
