Einstein Simplified, Revised Edition: Cartoons on Science Paperback – February 25, 2004
by Sidney Harris (Author)
Sidney Harris is America's foremost science cartoonist. He has been praised by luminaries such as Linus Pauling and Isaac Asimov, as well as countless others throughout the world, for his ability to find humour in what is traditionally regarded as a somewhat dry subject. Harris does for science what Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert) does for business: his unique perspective illustrates the scientific and technological environments in such a funny way that everyone can enjoy it. This edition of "Einstein Simplified" has been updated and revised with new cartoons.
