Albert Einstein

This read was so awesome and the best part of my having this material was that one of my campers came in and spotted my book on the table and she was so blown off as well as myself because she knew all about Albert Einstein, because she had been educated her early years (only 8yrs old) in Germany, and her teachers required her to learn about Albert Einstein. Not only was she very knowledgable about this book she had it in her own library. The author truly did a splendid/superb job on this read, and to think I found it in the children's department of the local library - Wow!! The Marianne Anderson book on the Voice that Challenged America is another awesome and powerful read for young and older readers. She also like Einstein in her own vocation took possession of her mind and help sculpture the awesome fabric of humanity and further the cause of GREATNESS FOR ALL PEOPLE!! And there is one more-Great Men of Science just some great information to help better the minds of those coming behind us and to help make it plain that greatness can be attained, and here is the proof that has made life what it is today through this read. Just great materials found at Amazon to help leaders as myself instill in other young minds that they have been afforded the same opportunity - all of these books can help lead them in the way. Thank you Amazon for such great reads, and the shipping costs was more than the books. A loyal customer - GA

This Albert Einstein book by Frieda Wishinsky is perfect for ages 7 to adult. It has a lot of detail and photographs from Einstein's life. It is easy reading, but not so simple as to be boring in any way. My 9 year old grandchild has several books on Einstein and likes this one the best.

We are trying to encourage our kids to read about important people to show the start out just like everyone else. They loved learning about Albert Einstein! To learn that he was just a normal guy that was super smart and used it to help people.

Albert’s biography is woven together through his family life, education, marriages, children, teaching positions, and his revolutionary papers that led to a Nobel Prize. Albert renounced his German Citizenship and later spoke out against the strengthening of Nazism. He was a brilliant and original thinker. The book provides intriguing and little spoken of details regarding Albert's personal history. He no longer seems like just a brilliant scholar, but also a man with complex family relationships and distinct personal and political views. This book is appropriate for adults, children, and scientists of all ages.

easy to read and take along with you anywhere.

I bought this book for my son to do an autobiography book report on. He is in 5th grade. He found it interesting, easy to read, and informative.

I ordered this book for my son's research project and it says it's a new book. Received it today and it looks used and there is writing/underlining in it!

GREAT BOOK! Bought it for my daughter's class and it's been read at least three times in the past few weeks!

Very pleasant reading and well done references, Albert was a genius everyone can recognize that, very interesting life story. Quite well done biography.

As described good product

I am generally impressed by DK books' mix of images and text that often make them interesting for a wide range of people so they were a natural choice when I was looking for a biography of Albert Einstein for my nephews. The Einstein book doesn't disappoint on the picture side and gives people a chance to see a number of images of Einstein at various stages throughout his life rather than just the famous one of a grey haired man old man with wild hair and his tongue sticking out. The book divides his life into short meaningful chapters full of facts, people and events within the context of the times and tells how he was born a Jew in Germany before the NAZIs and eventually became an American citizen whose science contributed to the development of the atomic bomb and what he felt about that. There are insights into his character, his sense of humour, and tales of his being something of a rebel and misfit at school - but it is all fairly brief in a book this size. I would prefer a more informative biography for myself - but this if fine for the older child (for whom I bought this copy) and DK lay this out so well with pictures on every page.

Good overall biography of the life of Einstein.

I have always admired Einstein's personality to ignore other's opinion. He did prove to the World his intellectual talents and contribution. He searched and supported Professor S.N. Bose's intellectual ability from British India. This leads to the New Research Domain as we know as the Bose-Einstien Theory!
