1.The World as I See It by: Albert Einstein June 08, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.99 You Save: £2.00 (25%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.02
Here we see glimpses of Einstein the man, not the scientist. As science moved further away from the ideal that it was supposed to benefit mankind in a positive way, Einstein believed the mission of science was to work for mankind's well-being. He will be sadly missed, a great man that thought with his heart as well as his head.

2.Relativity: The Special and the General Theory by: Albert Einstein June 30, 1996

If you dont know why Einstein is famous this short book is the reason. In it he outline that time is not constant 1 year for me is not the same as 1 year for you (depending how many plane trips you've made) and time can in fact stop completely. I can here your mumblings of disbelief, just scientific mumbo jumbo?, How can you stop time?, how can you ever prove you can stop time?. What makes this work so impressive is the now 100 year old mountain of experimental observation and rigorous testing that have proven every theoretical prediction in this book exactly right. Why is E=mc^2 because if your were travelling at `c` the speed of light, you could cross the whole universe in 0 seconds, 100 times if you like, still only take you 0 seconds. Therefore ...

3.The Principle of Relativity (Dover Books on Physics) by: Albert Einstein February 01, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.95 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.76
This is a collection of the original papers that led to the principle of relativity. The book gives excellent insight as to how and why the theory was developed. It clearly shows how the theory better explains certain parts of our universe. The only drawback is that the mathematical level may cause the book to be unapproachable to many. I reccommend at least one year of Calculus if you intend to understand the works fully. Without such a background the book is difficult at best, but still rewarding. If you lack this background you might be better served by reading Einsteins Relativity, the first book in the list above of what purchasers of this book also bought. Nonetheless I agree with the School Science ... Read More:

8.Ideas and Opinions by: Albert Einstein July 01, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £4.74
Albert Einstein's 'Ideas & Opinions' is a collection of insightful, creative and rich essays which reflect upon a variety of issues. Einstein's unparalleled genius for the Sciences is reflected upon every page of this book. He covers many subjects which are of growing importance to this day, such as pacifism, the role of the USA in the world, sociology, scientific and religious coexistence and so on, forthrightly, with convincing clarity. I have found this book to be an excellent way of understanding the state of the planet through the eyes of one of the greatest thinkers we shall ever know. One can only speculate at what the world would be like should he still be alive today. Read this book, if only to keep his brilliant ideas alive.

9.Einstein's Miraculous Year: Five Papers That Changed the Face of Physics by: Albert Einstein March 28, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £11.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £10.99 You Save: £0.96 ( 8%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.28
Its nice to read Einsteins actual work rather than someones interpretation of it. It is sometimes difficult to follow as there is little to no explanation of the maths, it is stated and you either know it or you dont. However, it is well worth buying this book if you want an insight into how he worked and dont mind reading a few sections twice.

10.The Evolution of Physics by: Albert Einstein December 01, 1988
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £2.65
Brilliant! I would totally recommend this book to anyone who is interested in how physics got to where it is now. Without compromising the intelligence of the discussion, the book is easy to read. This and Feynmans books have awoken in interest in me in Physics I never thought I had...
