Publisher's Synopsis
The Young Giants is a comparative account of the early lives of Albert Einstein and Sir Isaac Newton. Starting with their births and family backgrounds it follows their social development and schooling and, in Einstein's case, his progress into the world of work. The account reaches it climax when the two geniuses, both astonishingly still in their early twenties, reach the incredible insights which were to make them household names. A simplified explanation is given about these stunning discoveries.
