Sterling Biographies: Albert Einstein: The Miracle Mind
Based on this attractively designed title in the Sterling Biography series—profiling the man; his exciting, breakthrough science; and his politics—it's not hard to see why Time magazine named Einstein the "Person of the Century." Even if the specific details of quantum physics sometimes elude them, teens will easily grasp the larger impact of Einstein's many insights and contributions. They'll also take inspiration from his lifelong, passionate stand against racism and nuclear war. A bibliography, chronology, and glossary are appended; source notes would have made this even better.
