More About This Book

Overview

The year 2005 marks the 100th anniversary of the publication of the paper that launched Einstein's career, made E=mc2 famous, and ushered in a revolution in science—the paper that announced the theory of special relativity. And there's no better short book that explains just what Einstein did than Einstein's Cosmos. Keying Einstein's crucial discoveries to the simple mental images that inspired them, Michio Kaku finds a revealing new way to discuss these ideas, and delivers an appealing and always accessible introduction to Einstein's work.

    Einstein as easy as A B C

    This book is an accessible and concise summary of Einstein's thoughts and life. Do not gewt me wrong this is not your typical biograpy. It also deals with his theories and his thought process behind them. The best part is the fact that he explains Einstein's development of the theory through Einstein¿s thoughts. Kaku takes the reader into how Einstein imagined the issue. In fact, Kaku makes it sort of seem easy to be Einstein in the understandable (absence of math) way he describes his processes.
