Bernard Cohen, and Sir Arthur C. Clarke<BR><BR>This definitive illustrated study of one of the foremost icons of the 20th century commemorates the centenary of Albert Einstein's annus mirabilis of 1905, the same year when Einstein, at age 26, published his groundbreaking Special Theory of Relativity, and when the most famous equation in science, E = mc2, was introduced to the world. Here author Andrew Robinson and 11 essayists, including three Nobel laureates, explore every facet of the life and achievements of the great physicist and humanitarian, honored by <I>Time</I> magazine in its Millennium issue as "Person of the Century."<BR><BR>As the book explains clearly, Einstein's dramatic papers of 1905 overthrew the Newtonian worldview and revolutionized our understanding of space, time, energy, matter, and light. His work had impact far beyond the field of physics, playing a leading role in the century's technological advances and influencing modernism in every field. Except for his last interview that was previously published, all the essays here are original works written especially for this book. The photographs draw on an exceptional archive Einstein bequeathed to Hebrew University in Jerusalem. 433873 1 10 2005 Einstein: A Hundred Years of Relativity total:1|4:1| 1 4 7 0 0 0 false false Sat Oct 31 22:47:33 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 22:47:33 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon May 25 15:10:07 -0700 2009 Mon May 25 15:10:07 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun May 17 18:20:08 -0700 2009 Sun May 17 18:20:08 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Apr 16 22:58:37 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 16 22:58:37 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Dec 12 18:51:53 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 12 18:52:11 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Tue Sep 02 17:34:26 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 02 17:34:26 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Apr 13 20:37:23 -0700 2008 Sun Apr 13 20:37:23 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=445147
