Genius

"While the myriad photographs are fascinating, the bigger draw here is the wonderfully simple explanations of some of Einstein's theories. For example, in clarifying the physicist's quantum theory of light, Delano says, 'Simply put, Einstein showed that photons in the light beam knock the electrons out of metal.' This visual perception helps to make the theory understandable for all students.... An introduction by Evelyn Einstein, the scientist's granddaughter, is included. This entertaining effort displays clarity and intelligence. It has plenty of information for reports and is also a good choice for browsing."--School Library Journal (Starred review)
