内容简介Amusing, irreverent, sophisticated and highly accessible, Einstein for Beginners is the perfect introduction to Einstein's life and thought.
Reaching back as far as Babylon (for the origins of mathematics) and the Etruscans (who thought they could handle lightning), this book takes us through the revolutions in electrical communications and technology that made the theory of relativity possible. In the process, we meet scientific luminaries and personalities of imperial Germany, as well as Galileo, Faraday, and Newton; learn why moving clocks run slower than stationary ones, why nothing can go faster than the speed of light; and follow Albert's thought as he works his way toward E = mc2, the most famous equation of the twentieth century.
Synopsis:
Authoritative and irreverent, sophisticated and fast paced, highly accessible and utterly enjoyable--the Beginners books bring to life complex and important ideas and theories, and describe the lives and times of the people who created them. Einstein for Beginners shows us why moving clocks run slower than stationary ones, why nothing can go faster than the speed of light--and perhaps why Albert's hair always looked like that--and follows the thoughts of this genius as he works his way toward E=mc2--the groundbreaking equation of the twentieth century.

One of the first in the series of For Beginners documentary comic books, Einstein for Beginners still holds up as a perfect introduction to the life and work of Albert Einstein. It has been said that only a small percentage of people really understand Einstein's theories, but this book goes a long way towards making them accessible to everyone. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

1.A Simplified Approach to a Complicated Subject, July 31, 2000
Reviewer: Anthony M. Testani "mygotta" (San Diego, CA United States)
Einstein for Beginners acts more as a visual representation of Einsteins work. An easy to read format for anyone interested in knowing Einsteins theories without the mind-boggling formulas. I would suggest this as a place to begin. A nice read, although the theories one still needs to comprehend. The author, Joseph Schwartz puts it in a perspective that both challenges and educates. Highly reccomended!
2.Fantastic Introduction with Deep Details!, November 25, 2000
Reviewer: Leonardo Motta (Belém, PA Brazil)
This book is about the Theory of Relativity and a bit about how it was developed. The author done a wonderful job in teaching it in a very easy way and also showing the details of the theory (not being only superficial), like equations etc. You see, the deduction of the equations he done in a great way that everyone can easily understand (it's not like the appendix in the Einstein's book about relativity which I never understood). Of course this "deduction" is not formal, but it helps a lot to understand how it works and how they got to the theory.

1.A long slog - but you get there in the end!, October 11, 2006
Reviewer: R. Grattan (Australia)
I read this book some years ago when I was a young left-wing pinko liberal and found it fascinating!
I am now an old left-wing pinko liberal and found it a bit harder going this time. I know it's great to have historical context etc. but I wish there was more on the theories...
Anyway, an excellant read and just the thing to get young minds thinking outside the square. It's wonderful to see how quickly they can visualise the concepts, especially the moving train etc.
2.excellent introduction to Einstein!, July 30, 2006
Reviewer: GeminiMom (New England)
This book is a very engaging tool for acquainting young people with Einstein and his work. My son enjoyed the cartoons and appreciated the fact that the author included personal biographical information as well as professional history. The book is most appropriate for middle schoolers on up.
