Albert Einstein has quit his university teaching position and works six days a week as a second-class clerk in a patent office. With a wife and a newborn child, he’s struggling for money and isolated from academia. Yet out of this upheaval will come the basis for his greatest work, and one of the most spectacular discoveries of all time--the Theory of Relativity--leading the scientific community to refer to 1905 as annus mirabilis, or "the miracle year." In this fascinating account, renowned science writers John Gribbin and Mary Gribbin delve into the year that brought the world into the nuclear age. Covering Einstein’s scientific achievements--the completion of a doctoral degree and the three papers that form the basis of the Theory of Relativity--as well as his tumultuous personal life, the Gribbins present the historical context that led to this,the most famous equation of all time, and that changed the world as we know it. 作者简介:MARY GRIBBIN trained in psychology at the University of Sussex before working in education;she is the author of science books for young readers,as well as Richard Feynman:A Life in Science and Ice Age.The Gribbins live is Sussex,England.
