Cool book, awesome CD-ROM
I've been an Einstein nut since junior high school. So much has been written about this great (and extremely human) man, yet I was pleasantly surprised at this new presentation of Einsteinia, the interactive CD-ROM being the star of this show. The book (aside from the beautiful, flashy jacket illustration) is rather plain with sparse B&W photos and brief quotes and comments by and about The Physicist. I started reading the book first and after a few pages decided to boot up the CD to see if there was anything more exciting there. Well, I immediately realized that the book is the companion to the CD-ROM, not the other way around. So sit down at your PC with the book in your lap, and let the CD take you on an entertaining, informative multimedia experience.
