Few men have received the recognition that was accorded Albert Einstein in his lifetime. The reasons for that fame; the gentle, warmhearted nature of this great man; and the basic theories of his work in relativity are brought to focus in this informative biography. Arthur Beckhard discusses the early life of Einstein when he formulated his revolutionary theories, the dangers he faced in Nazi Germany, his years at the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, and his significant contributions to the Manhattan Project during World War II. Albert Einstein is seen as a man of simplicity and genius, a Nobel Prize winner-and most importantly, as a humanitarian, a man who really cared about the world he helped to make. "Without attempting a profound portrait, the nature of the man and the basic theory that underlies his work in relativity are brought to light here in an informative, respectful book."-Virginia Kirkus Service, Inc. "A concise but well-written biography . . . brings out the character of the man as well as giving perspective to the accomplishments of the scientist."-Christian Science Monitor "An affectionate biography which includes every major scientific detail in Einstein's great life. Presents the facts and presents them well."-New York Times

Le jeune monsieur de Soulas ne pouvait pas se dispenser d'avoir un tigre. Ce tigre tait le fils d'un de ses fermiers, un petit domestique g de quatorze ans, trapu, nomm Babylas. Le lion avait tr s-bien habill son tigre?: redingote courte en drap gris de fer, serr e par une ceinture de cuir verni, culotte de panne gros-bleu, gilet rouge, bottes vernies et revers, chapeau rond bourdaloue noir, des boutons jaunes aux armes des Soulas. Am d e donnait ce gar on des gants de coton blanc, le blanchissage et trente-six francs par mois, la charge de se nourrir, ce qui paraissait monstrueux aux grisettes de Besan on?: quatre cent vingt francs un enfant de quinze ans, sans compter les cadeaux? Les cadeaux consistaient dans la vente des habits r form s, dans un pourboire quand Soulas troquait l'un de ses deux chevaux, et la vente des fumiers. Les deux chevaux, administr s avec une sordide conomie, co taient l'un dans l'autre huit cents francs par an. Le compte des fournitures Paris en parfumeries, cravates, bijouterie, pots de vernis, habits, allait douze cents francs. Si vous additionnez groom ou tigre, chevaux, tenue superlative, et loyer de six cents francs, vous trouverez un total de trois mille francs. Or, le p re du jeune monsieur de Soulas ne lui avait pas laiss plus de quatre mille francs de rentes produits par quelques m tairies assez ch tives qui exigeaient de l'entretien, et dont l'entretien imprimait une certaine incertitude aux revenus. A peine restait-il trois francs par jour au lion pour sa vie, sa poche et son jeu
Albert Einstein is universally regarded as the most brilliant scientist of the 20th century. In 1905, during his "Miracle Year" as a clerk in the Swiss patent office, he wrote four papers that revolutionized the field of theoretical physics. Over the course of his career, Einstein introduced modern science to the concept of space-time, inadvertently launched America on the path towards developing the atomic bomb, and was offered the presidency of Israel. He was the first scientific superstar-a world-wide celebrity whose popularity was matched only by his astounding feats of imagination.In his later years Albert Einstein was known as a gentle and lovable man who forgot his socks and rarely combed his hair. But he was much more than an absent-minded genius. He was a fierce individualist, who, as a teenager, renounced his German citizenship rather than serve in the army. As a rebel against every form of authority, an outspoken enemy of anti-Semitism and fascism, and a socialist with an enduring commitment to social justice, you will learn in this book that even as Einstein was setting Newtonian physics on its ear, he considered his most important work to be about something very different: the bettering of humanity.

Lad: A Dog is a 1919 American novel written by Albert Payson Terhune and published by E. P. Dutton. Composed of twelve short stories first published in magazines, the novel is based on the life of Terhune's real-life rough collie, Lad. Born in 1902, the real-life Lad was an unregistered collie of unknown lineage originally owned by Terhune's father. Lad's death in 1918, was mourned by many of the story's fans, particularly children. Through the stories of Lad's adventures, Terhune expresses his views on parenting, obtaining perfect obedience without force, and the nature and rights of the "well-bred". Terhune began writing the stories in 1915 at the suggestion of his Red Book Magazine editor. They gained in popularity and, as Terhune was under contractual obligation to submit something to Doubleday-Page, he collected them into novel form. After Doubleday rejected the novel, he solicited other publishers until it was picked up by Dutton. After a slow start, the novel became a best seller in the adult fiction and children's fiction markets, having been repositioned as a young adult novel by Grosset and Dunlap in the 1960s and 1970s. Selling over one million copies, it is Terhune's best-selling work and the one that propelled him to fame. It has been reprinted over 70 times by Dutton, and republished by a variety of publishers since its original release, including at least six international translations.
Albert Payson Terhune (December 21, 1872 - February 18, 1942) was an American author, dog breeder, and journalist. The public knows him best for his novels relating the adventures of his beloved collies and as a breeder of collies at his Sunnybank Kennels, the lines of which still exist in today's Rough Collies. As a tribute to Terhune, the dog in A Boy and His Dog calls his master Albert. The 1969 novella was written by Harlan Ellison. The 1975 film was directed by L.Q. Jones.Albert Payson Terhune was born in New Jersey to Mary Virginia Hawes and the Reverend Edward Payson Terhune. His mother, Mary Virginia Hawes, was a writer of household management books and pre-Civil War novels under the name Marion Harland. Terhune had four sisters and one brother, though only two of his sisters lived to be adults: Christine Terhune Herrick (1859-1944); and Virginia Terhune Van De Water (1865-1945). Sunnybank (41.0012 N 74.2755 W) was originally the family's summer home, with Terhune making it his permanent residence in 1912. He was educated at Columbia University where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1893. From 1894 to 1914, he worked as a reporter for The Evening World.
The Albert Plevier Trilogy is the remarkable true story of one man's near-death experience after a blinding, burning, chemical accident, and the love story of his marriage that refused to be compromised. Book I: Beyond the Eight-Foot World. The first installment of the series describes in real time how twenty-four-year-old, husband, father, and chemical engineer, Albert Plevier, was thrust into the eight-foot-world of the blind on October 1, 1974, in northern New Jersey's notorious chemical industry. He stood frozen in shock, disbelief, and fear, as the concentrated sodium hydroxide spiraled toward his unprotected face and upper body. Time stopped and then it hit. The liquid powered by the motor churned the caustic chemical and tuned his feet into springs. He was blown back onto his left side and positioned between two metal drums and a pipe vise while the force of the liquid kept him pinned. He was burning, he was melting. The chemical was enacting its revenge, as it tried to dissolve the man whose job description required him to dissolve it as its highest level of power. Book II: See Saw, the continuation of our series follows the family's joy at the temporary return of Albert's sight. Initially, Al gauges the progress of his returning vision by staring at bathroom wallpaper. As the image of his scarred body becomes clearer in the mirror hung within the tapestry of the wallpaper, the thrill of his temporarily returned vision is tempered by what he knew his wife Elaine had been looking at for the last two years. The scars were the physical confirmation that he and his family had endured something horrific and moved beyond it. Al stood before the mirror each day, fully appreciating the courage of his marriage and the love that carried them all forward. Without bitterness, Al felt in his heart that he was willing to face the darkness he knew he would eventually be returned to as long as he had his family by his side. Determined not to be deterred from the life plan Al and Elaine had sketched for themselves on the day they married, their family unit grew to include four children, all boys. Together they experienced faith strengthened through the recollection of his near-death experience as they are plunged back into the world of the blind. The young couple relies on their faith to navigate the logistics of a lawsuit with all its mundane, frustrating and humiliating aspects while believing in the realistic hope of a second return of Al's sight through experimental surgery. Al's sight is returned a second time and the lawsuit comes to a close. Believing they had turned a corner and integrated themselves back into the 'normal' world, Al is then plunged back into darkness permanently in an emergency procedure to save his life, once again. Undeterred, he gratefully accepts his role as husband, father, and participant in the larger world with or without the ability to see it.
