"In Secrets of the Old One, Jeremy Bernstein sets out to make Albert Einstein's revolutionary
contributions to modern physics comprehensible to general readers. Relying on nothing
more advanced than high-school mathematics, he not only explains the science but evokes
the scientific scene in which the young Einstein wrote his four revolutionary papers
of 1905. Working very nearly alone and with apparently complete self-confidence, in
spite of the skepticism or indifference of the physics establishment, the twenty-six-year-old
Einstein managed to reveal hidden workings of "The Old One"--The name he sometimes
used to refer to the deity. In the course of this one amazingly fruitful year, Bernstein
shows us, he had set out the principles that would eventually turn the world of nineteenth-century
physics on its head, and establish the course of physics for the twentieth century
and beyond."--Jacket
