Paperback. Condizione: Good. Here's the story of one of the world's greatest scientists. His parents thought he was rather slow in childhood, but perhaps he was merely keeping his thoughts to himself. Born in Germany in 1879, he published his famous theory of special relativity in 1905, which revolutionized science. Later as a refugee from Nazi persecution, he fled to America and spent many satisfying years at Princeton University. Older boys and girls will find hours of reading pleasure in the very accessible biographies in the My Name Is . series. The narratives are substantial, averaging roughly 7,500 words each, as they recount their subjects' accomplishments in the context of their times and historical backgrounds. Each book's narrative is supplemented with handsome full-color illustrations, including some of full-page size. Titles in this series make ideal additions both to school and home libraries, and can serve as supplementary reading for classroom discussion and essay projects. A two-page time line at the back of each book summarizes the subject's life, as well as important cultural and historical events that occurred during his lifetime. Roldan, Gustavo (illustratore).…
