ABC Books, 2005. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 256. this authoritative illustrated biography will be published to mark the centenary of Einstein's annus mirabilis of 1905. In this year, aged 26, he published four revolutionary papers, including the Special theory of Relativity, and capped the year in November 1905 with the most famous equation in science, E=mc2. Einstein's papers of 1905 overthrew the Newtonian worldview, and revolutionised our understanding of space, time, energy, matter and light. the impact of Einstein's work over the next 50 years went far beyond the field of physics, playing a leading role in the century's technological advances and influencing modernism in every field. the book further considers discoveries and developments in science since 1955 and examines how these have been influenced by and have impacted on Einstein's ideas. the book also considers Einstein the man - from his pursuit of humanitarian and political causes to his love of music and sailing.
