3-Minute Einstein: Digesting His Life, Theories & Influence in 3-Minute Morsels

Examining the scientist whose space-time theories laid the foundations for modern physics, this biography portrays Albert Einstein as not only an unparalleled scientific genius, but as a human rights campaigner, a political activist, and the iconic archetype of the mad professor. This engaging and illuminating book shows readers why it is that Einstein continues to fascinate scientists and laypeople alike, all in brief bits of text that keep readers from getting overwhelmed by complicated and advanced scientific explanations. The biography is structured into three parts--life, theories, and influence--and although the two theories of relativity occupy places of honor, lesser-known aspects of Einstein's work are not forgotten, such as how his investigations aided in the invention of lasers, how he patented a unique type of refrigeration, how he proved the existence of atoms, and how he invested his last years into a premature search for the theory of everything. His celebrated scientific pursuits are contrasted with an agitated private life, two marriages, an illegitimate daughter, a lack of resources during World War I, illness, and his exile to the United States due to the Nazis' rise to power.

Examinando al cient fico cuyas teor as de tiempo y espacio proveyeron los fundamentos para la f sica moderna, esta biograf a representa a Albert Einstein no s lo como un cient fico brillante incomparable, pero como un defensor de los derechos humanos, un activista pol tico y el arquetipo del ic nico profesor alocado. Este interesante e iluminante libro le muestra al lector por qu es que Einstein contin a fascinando a cient ficos y laicos por igual, todo mediante trozos breves de texto que evitan que el lector se sienta inundado por explicaciones cient ficas complicadas y avanzadas. La biograf a est estructurada en tres partes--vida, teor as e influencia--y aunque las dos teor as de la relatividad ocupan el puesto de honor, no se olvidan aspectos menos conocidos del trabajo de Einstein tales como c mo su investigaci n ayud a la invenci n del l ser, c mo patent un tipo nico de frigor fico, c mo demostr la existencia de los tomos y c mo invirti sus ltimos a os en una b squeda prematura de la teor a del todo. Sus celebradas labores cient ficas se contrastan con una vida privada agitada, dos matrimonios, una hija ileg tima, la escasez de recursos durante la primera guerra mundial, la enfermedad y la huida a Estados Unidos a causa del ascenso al poder de los nazis.
