Description
This National Geographic photobiography chronicles the life of one of the most brilliant scientists who ever lived. Through compelling text and stirring archival duotone photographs, the author recounts Einstein's life from his privileged childhood in Austria through the crucial years during World War II, and his death in Princeton, New Jersey. Young readers will learn about Einstein's remarkable theories that still influence the technologies of today and discover the causes he passionately supported such as disarmament and civil liberties. This book will be an ideal complement to middle grades' science curriculum while offering an enlightening perspective of the man whose very name is synonymous with the term 'genius'.
