Einstein - Decoding the Universe

This thought-provoking, the profusely-illustrated book explains Einstein's work in plain language and examines the life of one of the most remarkable figures of all time.

Physicist, mathematician, astronomer, humanist – Albert Einstein was so radical a thinker that his brilliance is difficult to grasp. He was not an outstanding student, yet in 1905, at the age of 26, he published groundbreaking studies of the relationships between mass, energy and the speed of light and the ways in which they are observed and measured. Relativity theory, as these ideas are known, forever altered our understanding of the universe
