The Story of Science: Einstein Adds a New Dimension (inbunden, eng)

In volume three, students will look over Albert Einstein''s shoulder as he and his colleagues develop a new kind of physics. It leads in two directions: to knowledge of the vast universe and its future (insights build on Einstein''s theories of relativity), and to an understanding of the astonishingly small subatomic world (the realm of quantum physics).

Students will learn why relativity and quantum theory revolutionized our world and led to the most important ideas in modern science, maybe of all time.

In the three-book The Story of Science series, master storyteller Joy Hakim narrates the evolution of scientific thought from ancient times to the presentWith lively, character-driven narrative, Hakim spotlights the achievements of some of the world''s greatest scientists and encourages a similiar spirit of inquiry in readers. The books include hundreds of color photographs, charts, maps, and diagrams; informative sidebars; suggestions for further reading; and excerpts from the writings of great scientists.
