All the Einstein life is very intersting! For the 20st centuryworld life the 1900-1909 Einstein period is the apex of his scientificcontributions, specially for three papers: those about the Brownian Movement, the Photoelectric Effects and Eletromagnetic Effects when there is a referencial change. All three papers brought to ous news interpretations of those phenomena and revealed the Einstein interpretation capacity of visible and not-visible world. The paper about Photoelectric Effects presented a new quantum views of ligh and material interaction while the Eletromagnetic Effects showed the principles of Special Relativity, a theme that transverse the 20st century and arrive at 21st century without popular technology applications. This book brings a opened, stimulant, and helpful explanations - great lectures - about the principals Einstein ideas. Maybe this book is the first to point closely the life and thinking of a science men.

Readers-

One might question why you might purchase a book such as this. Well the answer is quite simple. Logic. Now when I say logic I don't mean the logic of the words themselves rather the logic that you might read such an impressive work.

Einstien was a genius in his time, a genius yet to be surpassed (in the authority of Science that is). His works are timeless, classic examples of the scientific process and this particular is a well-balanced example.

Written during the years of the 1910s this volume's works depict a dedication to science even through the war in Europe.

A Must Read!

Robert Kennedy was my very first hero as a child. This book for young readers will, I hope, introduce the succeeding generations to the man who would be president in 1968.

I like the way the author highlights the salient points of the late Senator's life. Although this is not a comprehensive biography even for young standards, the author does a credible job of presenting the Senator in a favorable light. I was especially pleased that the Senator's focus on civil rights issues was emphasized.

As with any work on Robert Kennedy, the reader is left with the aching, gaping question of what would have transpired in the intervening years had this good man been elected president in 1968.

I have just begun as a consulting statistician, and have found this book invaluable both as a review, and as an aid for explanations for the people that I help. The book goes beyound the bare basics, with very useful discussions of statistical package use.

Not recommended unless you are interested in hearing Schulman expound on the virtues of libertarianism. You'll learn more about Heinlein from Expanded Universe and Grumbles from the Grave.

The more Heinlein you read, the more you must read. Inevitably, your curiosity about who he was and how he became one of the world's most extraordinary writers begins to eat at your intelligence. Incredibly, J. Neil Schulman, a mere boy at the time, was able to gain Heinlein's complete confidence and trust. This text of the interview Schulman was able to arrange with Heinlein will answer a thousand questions for you. Schulman was as prepared to interview the great man as any person could have possibly been. Any consideration of Heinlein's life and work will be incomplete without including this small in size, but gigantic in significance, look into the mind of Heinlein, whose genius will only be regarded as greater with every passing year. The author, Schulman, went on to become a terrific science fiction writer himself, winning two Prometheus awards of his own.

The interview has a great forthrightness to it, like having lunch with Heinlein and listening to him hold forth. This is the only place I've ever seen his opinions on Ayn Rand, NASA and its incredible ability to make spaceflight boring, and why Heinlein couldn't like one of his characters better than the others. Schulman acquits himself well -- if he hadn't, Heinlein would not have spent an hour with him, let alone 3 & 1/2. I read the _Job_ review with interest, and found the analysis illuminating.
If Heinlein was your 'Dutch Uncle' too, you'll want this book.
