Gr 6-9--Goldenstern's biography is more detailed than Stephanie McPherson's Ordinary Genius (Carolrhoda, 1995) and places a stronger emphasis on Einstein's contributions to science. She presents a clear overview of the subject's scientific life and includes five experiments and activities to familiarize readers with concepts that are necessary to understanding his work. Illustrations consist of unremarkable black-and-white photographs and a few diagrams. This title is comparable to Milton Dank's Albert Einstein (Watts, 1983), but is a worthwhile purchase nevertheless.Margaret M.
