Books with title I Am Albert Einstein

Before Albert Einstein was an internationally renowned genius, he was a kid—learn all about his childhood and what makes him an all-star in American history!Albert Einstein is a household name synonymous with genius around the world. His work unlocked mysteries of the universe and also impacted everyday conveniences like remote controls and televisions. And while most are familiar with Einstein’s adult wisdom (and wild hair), do you know what he was like as a child? From his passion for music—he played both the violin and the piano—to his early curiosity for understanding the mysteries of science, in this narrative biography you’ll learn all about Albert Einstein’s childhood and the influences that shaped the life of a remarkable man.

Albert Einstein. His name has become a synonym for genius. His wild case of bedhead and playful sense of humor made him a media superstar--the first, maybe only, scientist-celebrity. He wasn't much for lab work; in fact he had a tendency to blow up experiments. What he liked to do was think, not in words but in "thought pictures." What was the result of all his thinking? Nothing less than the overturning of Newtonian physics. Once again, Kathleen Krull delivers a witty and astute look at one of the true "Giants of Science" and the turbulent times in which he lived.

An introduction to the very human side of Albert EinsteinApril’s older sister, Annabel, is in danger of failing math, so April enlists the help of a famous scientist, sending a math problem to Albert Einstein at his home in Princeton, New Jersey. While April waits for an answer, she pictures all the things Einstein might be doing instead: working on his own math problems, playing his violin, riding his bicycle, gardening, sailing, helping other children with their homework – all things that he is known to have enjoyed. But time is running out for Annabel, who doesn’t know that help is on the way. And when it comes, it takes April to show that Einstein has given Annabel a clue so that she can solve the problem herself.Energetic watercolor-and-ink pictures illustrate this sprightly little-sister-to-the-rescue story based on an actual event. The math problem and solution are included.

Few men have received the recognition that was accorded Albert Einstein in his lifetime. The reasons for that fame; the gentle, warmhearted nature of this great man; and the basic theories of his work in relativity are brought to focus in this informative biography. Arthur Beckhard discusses the early life of Einstein when he formulated his revolutionary theories, the dangers he faced in Nazi Germany, his years at the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, and his significant contributions to the Manhattan Project during World War II. Albert Einstein is seen as a man of simplicity and genius, a Nobel Prize winner—and most importantly, as a humanitarian, a man who really cared about the world he helped to make.“Without attempting a profound portrait, the nature of the man and the basic theory that underlies his work in relativity are brought to light here in an informative, respectful book.”—Virginia Kirkus Service, Inc.“A concise but well-written biography . . . brings out the character of the man as well as giving perspective to the accomplishments of the scientist.”—Christian Science Monitor“An affectionate biography which includes every major scientific detail in Einstein’s great life. Presents the facts and presents them well.”—New York Times

When Albert Einstein was a very young boy, his teachers and his father despaired about his apparent lack of interest in studies. To top it he had speech difficulties and was vague and inattentive. Albert hated the kind of rote learning he was obliged to do in school, memorizing dates and texts. But as he grew older, it became clear that Albert was no ordinary person. 1905 is often termed his 'miracle year', the year he published not one but four entirely new papers, on four completely different topics.
