David Bodanis is a futurist, speaker, business advisor and writer of popular science books, notably E=mc2: A Biography of the World's Most Famous Equation, which was translated into 26 languages. Originally from Chicago, he received an undergraduate education in mathematics, physics and economics at the University of Chicago[1] (AB 1977). In 2001 he published E=mc2: A Biography of the World's Most Famous Equation which was translated into 20 languages. In 2005, it was made into a documentary for Channel 4, and aired on PBS under the name Einstein's Big Idea. In 2009, E=mc2 was made into a ballet by the Birmingham Royal Ballet and won the South Bank Award for best British Dance of the year. Most people know that Einstein's equation is important but they don't usually know why. This book takes an approach to the equation that concentrates not on the biography of Einstein but on the biography of the equation itself. The author stated "I could write the biography of E=mc². Everyone knows that a biography entails stories of the ancestors, childhood, adolescence and adulthood of your subjects. It's the same with the equation. The book begins, accordingly, with the history of each part of the equation-the symbols E, m, c, =, and squared. For each of these-the equation's 'ancestors'-I focus on a single person or research group whose work was especially important in creating our modern understanding of the terms." David Bodanis looks at the three elements-e, m and c-before they end up together in Einstein's equation in Berne, 1905. From there he follows the course of the equation through the 20th century, focusing on the people who developed Einstein's work and its consequences. Without the equation for instance there would have been no atomic bomb, no lasers, no Internet and no science of black holes.
