3 Minute Einstein
Hardback Edition: 1/2012
The 3-Minute series offers the essence of history's most important figures with all the padding removed. It divides up their lives into 60 three-minute chunks, each presented as an easily digestible visual snack. Divided into three thematic sections on Life, Theories, and Influence-each containing an
hour's worth of fascinating facts-the 3-Minute series is a whole new style of biography. Spend 15 minutes a day in the company of a colossus from the world of science, politics, or culture, and you will soon have a whole biographical dictionary in your head. And what better subject to kick off a series of timed biographies than Einstein, the scientist whose space-time theories laid the foundations for modern physics.

Is it any wonder that Einstein continues to fascinate scientists and non-scientists alike? 3-Minute Einstein will show you why at approximately the speed of light.
