GENIUS MINDS: Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking - 2 Books in 1!Featuring*Albert Einstein*Stephen Hawking2 Great Books In 1!Albert EinsteinAlbert Einstein is the most recognizable face of science. The man who created the theory of relativity, alongside so many other breakthroughs in the world of physics, though, was so much more than just a scientist. A philosopher, musician, humanitarian. A pacifist.Einstein was never a man to back down in a fight, and never one to accept the words of authority if they were unjustified, or harmful to others. The kindly, white haired old man, was a flawed genius. A man who possessed excellence in science, a deep love for humanity, struggled in his personal life.This is the story of Albert Einstein, the greatest intellect of the twentieth century, perhaps of all time.Stephen HawkingDennis William Sciama (1926 – 1999) was a don at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. He was one of the most eminent physicists of his time. In 1963 he was informed that he was to receive a new pupil, a young man from Oxford who wished to undertake his doctoral thesis under his tutelage.There was nothing unusual in this. Mentoring new pupils was part and parcel of a university academic’s life. However the new pupil seemed, on the face of it, unremarkable. In fact he had the reputation of a lazy and somewhat difficult student. In his written exam at Oxford he had achieved neither a first nor a second degree. A first would have entitled him to undertake postgraduate studies at Cambridge; a second at Oxford. He had to submit to an oral exam, an ordeal that terrified him but nevertheless impressed his examiners who remarked that they faced intelligence greater than there on.After a while Sciama also agreed that he was dealing with a highly potent intellect. This man was only 21 years old and moreover had just been given 2 years to live. His name was Stephen William Hawking. Since then, Stephen Hawking has gone on to become one of the most eminent scientists of his generation, internationally respected and famous for his work. This is his story.

A forewarning! A Nor'easter is approaching, a ripple affect, I never had imagined. It was Feb 5, 1978 and a black ash cloud hovered above the City's outer edge. I suspected something wicked was coming. I noticed a steady stream of snow falling as a winter scream rang out. An unfamiliar smell that reeked of a venomous disgruntled thing in my cellar. A number of misunderstandings which bred a life of its own, footprints of evil. I recognized the danger signs, but was too young to see the truth. Mother's voice was brisk, crisp, and stern, but I heard a different sound, a sound of...SNOW IN THE CELLAR

Lively, well-informed portrait of the complex figure who was the apostle Paul Though Paul is often lauded as the first great Christian theologian and a champion for Gentile inclusion in the church, in his own time he was universally regarded as a strange and controversial person. In this book Pauline scholar Michael Bird explains why. An Anomalous Jew presents the figure of Paul in all his complexity with his blend of common and controversial Jewish beliefs and a faith in Christ that brought him into conflict with the socio-religious scene around him. Bird elucidates how the apostle Paul was variously perceived — as a religious deviant by Jews, as a divisive figure by Jewish Christians, as a purveyor of dubious philosophy by Greeks, and as a dangerous troublemaker by the Romans. Readers of this book will better understand the truly anomalous shape of Paul’s thinking and worldview.
