Everyone has heard of Albert Einstein-but what exactly did he do? How much do kids really know about Albert Einstein besides the funny hair and genius label? For instance, do they know that he was expelled from school as a kid? Finally, here's the story of Albert Einstein's life, told in a fun, engaging way that clearly explores the world he lived in and changed.

和米开朗基罗一样，伽利略是文艺复兴时期的另一位伟大人物，人们只知道他的名字。一个与科学成就同义的名字。16世纪，伽利略出生于意大利的比萨，他为这个时代知识的伟大复兴做出了贡献。他发明了一种望远镜，用它可以观察天空。从那里开始，甚至天空都不是极限!他支持一个以太阳为中心的太阳系，从而颠覆了人们长期以来对宇宙的看法。

Like Michelangelo, Galileo is another Renaissance great known just by his first name. A name that is synonymous with scientific achievement. Born in Pisa, Italy, in the sixteenth century, Galileo contributed to the era's great rebirth of knowledge. He invented a telescope with which he was able to observe the heavens. From there, not even the sky was the limit! He turned long held notions about the universe topsy turvy with his support of a sun-centric solar system. Patricia Brennan Demuth offers a sympathetic portrait of a brilliant man who lived in a time when speaking scientific truth to those in power was still a dangerous preposition.

Patricia Brennan Demuth is the author of Who Was Laura Ingalls Wilder?, Who Is Bill Gates?, What Was Ellis Island?, and What Was Pearl Harbor?
