Albert Einstein. His name has become a synonym for genius. His wild case of bedhead and playful sense of humor made him a media superstar—the first, maybe only, scientist-celebrity. He wasn't much for lab work; in fact he had a tendency to blow up experiments. What he liked to do was think, not in words but in "thought experiments". What was the result of all his thinking? Nothing less than the overturning of Newtonian physics. Once again, Kathleen Krull delivers a witty and astute look at one of the true Giants of Science and the turbulent times in which he lived.


阿爾伯特．愛因斯坦，這個名字已成為天才的代名詞。他瘋狂的行徑及幽默風趣的特質，讓他成為第一個，或許也是唯一一個科學明星！他並不像外界所想的那樣都待在實驗室裡做研究，其實他最愛的是「爆炸」性實驗，也就是「思考」，而不是那種口頭上說說的想像實驗罷了。愛因斯坦思考的最大成果就是顛覆了牛頓定理！這次，看凱瑟琳．克魯爾如何利用詼諧逗趣的手法，刻畫這位偉大的科學家及他所處的紛亂時期。
