The History Hour

Sir Isaac Newton & Albert Einstein The History Hour

This book is about two great scientists. Isaac Newton's main body of work was as a physicist and mathematician. He was a part of a scientific revolution in the 17th century which would fundamentally change the way that people would see the world. In the field of optics, he would advance our understanding of light and how we saw it. Albert Einstein was an outstanding physician and mathematician of the 20th century. He was a pure genius who created a formula that would build a bomb capable of killing thousands at a time. Albert learned to play the violin. He could play a few notes on the piano or the violin, and then he would jot down notes on some theory. Einstein won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922.

And much more!

In mechanics Newton would create his famous three laws of motion but it's in physics that he became most well-known for his understanding of gravity, and in mathematics for his discovery of calculus and his writing perhaps the single most important scientific book of all-time, the 'Principia' which is still referenced today. As far as the way Einstein lived his life, well, read on, and you be the judge to see if you think he had a full and happy life. Einstein's story awaits you on the pages ahead.
