About this product

Product Information

Generations have grown up knowing that the equation E=mc2 changed the shape of our world, but never understanding what it actually means, why it was so significant, and how it informs our daily lives today--governing, as it does, everything from the atomic bomb to a television's cathode ray tube to the carbon dating of prehistoric paintings. In this book, David Bodanis writes the "biography" of one of the greatest scientific discoveries in history--that the realms of energy and matter are inescapably linked--and, through his skill as a writer and teacher, he turns a seemingly impenetrable theory into a dramatic human achievement and an uncommonly good story.

    Great

    Read this book years ago. It's one of the best science books that I have ever read. Easy to understand and full of great history.

    The complex made simple

    After a first reading I actually have a fairly good idea what Einstein was talking about. Highly recommend it to others.

    One of my favorite books!

    This is actually the second time I bought this book. The first time, a few years ago, I read it; felt like a genius and passed it on. Now I am coming back to read it again. This book truly explains physics and history in such a captivating, simple way. You actually understand it! (PS I don't think you can't get this one as an eBook).

    E=MC2

    A friend had been looking for this book for a while so I thought I'd surprise her with it. She was delighted! It was a replacement for her original copy which she lost years ago.
