Annus mirabilis

by John R. Gribbin

"In this account, renowned science writers John Gribbin and Mary Gribbin delve into the year that brought the world into the nuclear age. Covering Einstein's scientific achievements - the completion of a doctoral degree and the three papers that form the basis of the Theory of Relativity - as well as his tumultuous personal life, the Gribbins present the historical context that led to this, the most famous equation of all time, and that changed the world as we know it."--Jacket.
