具体描述
Barry Parker has a rare gift for making Einstein's ideas accessible to all readers. by Robert G. Fuller, Professor of Physics, University of Nebraska - Lincoln. "That Einstein was a genius is a cliche among laymen and physicists alike. For the layman, this reputation is largely based on Einstein's association with 'relativity' and its supposed inscrutabilities. While it is true that the creation of the Special and General Theories of Relativity was sufficient to earn him the title of genius, for the physicist, Einstein is more than 'just' a genius - he is a veritable giant among geniuses, for he would have been classified as a genius even without those theories. Now, finally, in this wonderful, and important, book, Barry Parker explains clearly why this is so by leading the reader through a sample of important 'hot' topics in contemporary physics and showing that there is virtually no area which is not directly tied to Einstein's 'other contributions.' If you think that Einstein's reputation was gained solely, or even mainly, for his relativity theories, read this book and you will then have a fuller appreciation of the true impact! which he has had on modern science." by George Patsakos, Associate Professor of Physics, University of Idaho. "Einstein is best known for his theories of special and general relativity, but his contributions go far beyond these two important topics. He contributed to the understanding of quantum mechanics, condensed matter, optics, cosmology, nuclear energy, unified theories, and, last but not least, to twentieth-century politics. Parker in his book, ALBERT EINSTEIN'S VISION, blends Einstein's scientific achievements with his contributions to politics. In addition to his scientific contributions, the book discusses Einstein's reluctance to develop the atomic bomb and his pacifist philosophy. The clarity of Parker's writing makes these topics easy to comprehend and interesting. It is written for the broadest possible audience, and I highly recommend the book." by Robert L. Zimmerman, Professor of Physics, University of Oregon.
