Einsteins War
Этот товар закончился.
Описание и характеристики
Einstein's name is now synonymous with 'genius', but it was not an easy road. He spent a decade creating relativity and his ascent to global celebrity owed much to against-the-odds international collaboration, including Eddington's globe-spanning expedition of 1919 - two years before they finally met. We usually think of scientific discovery as a flash of individual inspiration, but here we see it is the result of hard work, gambles and wrong turns.
Einstein's War is a celebration of what science can offer when bigotry and nationalism are defeated. Using previously unknown sources and written like a thriller, it shows relativity being built brick-by-brick in front of us, as it happened 100 years ago.

Война, жестокость и тяга к науке
Увлекательная книга, рассказывающая о жизни Альберта Эйнштейна и его теории относительности в контексте Первой мировой войны. Всегда было интересно узнать о жизни такого великого человека в столь непростое время.
Плюсы
Стэнли проводит тщательное исследование жизни и работ Эйнштейна, предоставляя много информации о его научных трудах и личных взаимоотношениях.
Минусы
Для некоторых читателей описание военных событий и политических обстоятельств может показаться менее интересным и отвлекающим от основной темы книги.
In 1916, Arthur Eddington, a war-weary British astronomer, opened a letter written by an obscure German professor named Einstein. The neatly printed equations on the scrap of paper outlined his world-changing theory of general relativity. Until then Einstein's masterpiece of time and space had been trapped behind the physical and ideological lines of battle, unknown.
