Isaac Newton's world had operated in a fixed, rigid, "absolute" framework of space and time.
Yet discoveries about electromagnetism in the late nineteenth century created new and troubling
inconsistencies. In 1905, Einstein's name became synonymous with "genius" when his Special Theory of
Relativity challenged old concepts in physics. Hertz, Lorentz, Mach, Poincare, and others illustrated the
ideas that so captivated Albert Einstein and shook our conventional ideas about space and time.
The Science and Discovery series recreates one of history's most successful journeysfour thousand years
of scientific efforts to better understand and control the physical world. Science has often challenged and upset
conventional wisdom or accepted practices; this is a story of vested interests and independent thinkers,
experiments and theories, change and progress. Aristotle, Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Newton, Darwin, Einstein,
and many others are featured.

Audio books, unlike ordinary books, are a lot more useful and time efficient in the long run. To sit down and read a book can be a very enjoyable experience but unfortunately only when time permits. A lot of us therefore find us putting aside the books for more pressing matters, with audio books however you can do both. Audio books give you the freedom to listen anywhere, just by simply putting it on a MP3 player. For most book fanatics space is a real issue and usually their houses end up looking like a library.
