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.

当查尔斯·达尔文还是个小男孩的时候，他就讨厌上学，经常因为做“无用的”实验而受到责骂。然而，他对自然世界的热情是如此强烈，以至于在他乘坐比格尔号五年的航行中，他遭受了严重的晕船之苦。达尔文收集了来自非洲海岸、南美洲和加拉帕戈斯群岛的新生物，并扩展了他的突破性想法，改变了人们对自然世界的理解。大约100幅插图和一篇清晰、激动人心的文字将使达尔文和他的进化论成为每一个年轻读者的激动人心的发现。

As a young boy, Charles Darwin hated school and was often scolded forconducting "useless" experiments. Yet his passion for the natural world was so strong that he suffered through terrible seasickness during his five-year voyage aboard The Beagle. Darwin collected new creatures from the coasts of Africa, South America, and the Galapagos Islands, and expanded his groundbreaking ideas that would change people's understanding of the natural world. About 100 illustrations and a clear, exciting text will make Darwin and his theory of evolution an exciting discovery for every young reader.
