About Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist who was born in 1879. Although he is now known as a brilliant scientist, Einstein did not particularly stand out in school and his strong personality led to disciplinary problems. Even after he graduated from university with brilliant results, the young Einstein found it difficult to earn his professors’ trust, and he was turned down from every teaching post he applied for. However, 1905 was his miracle year: he wrote four papers for the journal Annalen der Physik which propelled him to fame and cemented his reputation as one of the greatest physicists who ever lived.
This clear and accessible 40-page book is structured as follows:
