“Imagination is more important than knowledge.“
Jess Brallier's 'Who Was Albert Einstein?' is an engaging biography that introduces young readers to the life and achievements of one of history's greatest minds. With accessible language and illustrations, it sparks curiosity about science and the power of imagination. This book is useful for introducing students to biographies, fostering an interest in science, and encouraging discussions about creativity.
Book #6 of the year:
“…as Einstein has pointed out, common sense is actually nothing more than a deposit of prejudices laid down in the mind… Every new idea…one encounters in later years must combat this accretion of “self-evident” concepts.”
Very old, a little outdated, but still a quick and pretty user friendly explanation of Einstein‘s work and what it means for our understanding of the universe.
Dark roast for my dark soul! 😂

(2015) In the 19th century, Newton's laws were applied to astrophysics, but failed to explain the orbit of Mercury ... unless there were an undiscovered planet even closer to the sun. A generation of astronomers searched for (and sometimes sighted) a planet which it turns out doesn't exist. Levenson describes their efforts, with lessons about how science proceeds when observations don't match theory. Interesting, brief, and accessible (math-free!)
