Pioneers of Science: Albert Einstein (Pioneers of Science)

This series looks at the development of scientific thought and discovery through the lives and achievements of some of the world's greatest scientists. Focusing on the life and work of Albert Einstein, this book outlines the great contributions he made to scientific knowledge. Starting with the five-year-old Einstein's fascination with the behaviour of a pocket compass, it follows the development of his academic career, his work to establish a unified field theory which occupied the last 25 years of his working life, and his personal life as a musician, Zionist and pacifist.
