Product Description:
In paperback for the centenary of the discovery of relativity, "a fresh and highly visual tour through Einstein's astonishing legacy" (Brian Greene).
The year 2005 marks the 100th anniversary of the publication of the paper that launched Einstein's career, made E=mc2 famous, and ushered in a revolution in science—the paper that announced the theory of special relativity. And there's no better short book that explains just what Einstein did than Einstein's Cosmos. Keying Einstein's crucial discoveries to the simple mental images that inspired them, Michio Kaku finds a revealing new way to discuss these ideas, and delivers an appealing and always accessible introduction to Einstein's work.

After reading so much about Einstein I was looking for and hoping for a book that made his theories understandable. I found one: Michio Kaku's book. If you want an introduction to Einstein's theories I highly recommend this book.
One one of the best science books I've ever read. To make the complex understandable is quite a feat.

This book so riveting that I finished reading it one sitting. I would not share with you where I was sitting. I can only say that I created some inconvenience for rest of my family. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in science but not found someone to explain some of the principles in simple terms without resorting to scientific jargons. It is like a history book for evolution of quantum and relativistic theories. It is astonishing to see such a convolution of great minds occurred ... Read More

Just finished the book Einstein's Cosmos, which is a great look into the life of the genius physicist Albert Einstein.
The book has lots of interesting facts about Einstein. Some that i remember: He was born in Germany but he had such a bad experience in his youth, he renounced his citizenship when he was 17
He was always brilliant. There's a myth that he wasn't that smart when he was young. Wrong. He read a Geometry book when he was 12 and LOVED it. Since then he devoured ... Read More

The professor, Michio Kaku, has easily become one of my favorite authors. That Einstein was the greatest scientist of the past century there's no doubt. And the author in addition to being a physicist is able to explain, in a warm, and caring way, how Einstein pictured, in his mind, what eventually became his theory of special relativity. But there's more; Prof. Kaku provides us a glimpse of the life, thoughts, frustrations, and accomplishments of Einstein the man as well. An easy, and interesting read ... Read More

Physicists will already be acquainted with nearly everything in this book. For the rest of us, Professor Kaku provides a comfortably woven account of Einstein's personal and professional life. While nearly everyone is familiar with the famous scientist's reputation, few know much about him as a man or his incredible body of work. Einstien's humanity and self-deprecating humor only add to his charm. Surprising to me was his dogged, single-minded pursuit of the solution to relativity. His determination nearly ... Read More
