Book Description

September 1998 0965517683 978-0965517683
(Inside jacket flap text) An important moment in science has arrived. During the past few centuries, human knowledge of Nature has increased manyfold. Scientists are now able to do things previously thought to be impossible: The fabrication of exotic kinds of matter that do not exist in Nature, the exploration of outer space by sophisticated man- made probes, and the cloning of life forms are just a few examples. We have achieved a new understanding of how the Universe works. This knowledge is precious, almost sacred -- it is the culmination of the efforts of countless scientists. The philosophical implications are immense: We now see our place in the Universe differently than we did a few centuries ago. The age of scientific enlightenment is upon us.

This knowledge has now been assembled in a single book. The Bible According to Einstein is a comprehensive compendium of scientific discoveries and insights. Adopting a biblical format, it is divided into two works: an "Old Testament" and a "New Testament."

What was the Universe like during the initial moments of Creation? When did the stars and galaxies appear? How did the Sun and Earth form? In the "Old Testament," the history of the Universe is narrated from the beginning to the present. The remarkable geological and biological evolution of our planet is "resurrected in words," starting with the emergence of life, continuing to the growth of complex organisms, moving to the reign of the ruling reptiles, and ending with the appearance of mammals and man. The development of our Universe and our World is an amazing story.

What are the natural "commandments" that govern all? How did human spirituality and intelligence emerge? After addressing these questions, the "New Testament" goes on to deliver the laws of Nature and to reveal the extraordinary workmanship of the Universe. Here the reader discovers Nature's fundamental elements: from the quark to the atom, from the double helix DNA molecule to the cell, from the Earth to the celestial heaven. Unveiled is the intrinsic beauty of our Universe.

The great physicist and Nobel laureate Richard Feynman once said (in slightly different words): The fact that I understand this rose -- the light reflected off its surface, how it is composed of cells, why it is red, the evolutionary origin of the bees' attraction to it, and so on -- these things do not in any way diminish my appreciation of its beauty. In fact, they enhance my ability to enjoy the rose.

Look inside this book and experience the World. Discover the knowledge of "Nature's gospels." Here before you is an offering -- the gift of scientific enlightenment.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The Bible According to Einstein is a fascinating book, most educational. I have learned a great deal from it." -- Professor Samuel C. C. Ting, MIT, Nobel laureate in physics

"The Bible According to Einstein is a truly remarkable volume, one which skillfully weaves together the latest developments in physics and cosmology with theology. Well-written, lucid, but always scrupulously authoritative in its science, this work is a unique contribution to the on-going dialog between science and religion. Einstein himself grabbled with such cosmic questions, wondering if God had any choice in creating the universe. I think Einstein would have been proud of this work." -- Dr. Michio Kaku, physicist and author of the best selling books Hyperspace and Visions

Professor Sheldon Glashow, calls the book "a cosmic history and a bible for our times --- a fascinating attempt to unify the secular and the spiritual." -- Professor Sheldon Glashow, Harvard University, Nobel laureate in physics and author of Charm of Physics

From the Publisher

The Bible According to Einstein is a scientifically based work about the universe and nature. The book is a tribute to the Holy Bible in the sense that it adopts the biblical structure and style, but it is NOT a scientific explanation of the Holy Bible. With its narrative, rhythmic almost poetic and sometimes metaphorical language, one will enjoy reading it aloud or silently. Each "book" of this "scientific bible" offers the reader a chance to achieve a greater awareness of the physical world and the way that nature works.

The "Old Testament" narrates a complete history of the universe from the initial moments of creation to atom formation and beyond. Out of the blackness of the early universe, one sees specks of light turn on as the first stars and galaxies emerge. Later clouds of gas and dust collapse to form the Sun and planets. On Earth three billion years ago, the muddy waters are stirred by currents, fog and winds until the first molecules of life are made. The entire story of evolution is told, beginning with the first single-celled life forms and ending with the emergence of man. The reader witnesses Earth's geological history as continents drift about, mountains rise up and seas emerge during periods of millions of years.

The "New Testament" deals with man's role in the universe and man's knowledge of the laws of nature. It begins with the emergence of Homo sapiens from apes and continues with human intellectual, spiritual and scientific development. Physics, chemistry and biology are explained in the simplest terms. A reader discovers nature's basic constructs: quarks, atoms, cells, planets, stars and galaxies. Revealed to the reader is the intrinsic beauty of the universe.

The following appears on the verso page:

Disclaimer: In no way should The Bible According to Einstein be construed to be written by Albert Einstein. On the other hand, the true contributors of this book are the many men and women of science who, during centuries of work, have discovered the laws of Nature. Without their contributions, this book would not be possible. Likewise, the word "bible" in the title does not refer to the Holy Bible. Rather, it indicates the ancient meaning of the word, namely, "a collection of books."

5.0 out of 5 stars A Super Science Book., December 18, 1999
By A Customer
I bought this book about a year ago and it has taken me much of the year to read. This is by far the most interesting science book that I have ever seen. For a non-scientist like myself, it is an extremely interesting approach to explaining physics, chemistry, biology, geology, evolution and astronomy. The interesting thing is that one is, most of the time, reading a story about the universe or the history of earth or life and that one doesn't even realize that one is learning science. The Bible According to Einstein is a great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Tour de Force., January 9, 2000
By A Customer
There are only two books that I enjoyed more than this one: The Elegant Universe and A Brief History of Time. It is perhaps unfair to make these comparisons because The Bible According to Einstein is so different. It borders on a work of art. It is highly original and extremely clever. If you want science delivered on a tasty platter, read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book., August 5, 1999
By A Customer
I learned so much from The Bible According to Einstein. It is the best science book that I have ever read. Stars, planets, earth, dinosaurs, molecules, cells are all so clearly explained. I discovered many fascinating things. For example, did you know that sun as viewed from Mercury sometimes undoes zig-zag movements? That's right. The sun as it inches across the sky moves forward, then back and then forward again. It is also wonderful to experience the birth of life of earth that occured 3.5 billion years ago. When I read the book, I can almost hear winged trumpets celebrating this event.
