A biography of the life and achievements of Albert Einstein, one of the most important scientists of the twentieth century.

With his general theory of relativity, Albert Einstein is the symbol of genius. Being honored with the Nobel Prize in physics made him famous and firmed-up his reputation as a genius. Though Albert Einstein is remembered mostly as being a scientist, he was also concerned with helping people. During World War II, he assisted many Jews fleeing the Nazis. After the war, the people of Israel asked him to be their president. Einstein declined; he still had unanswered scientific questions to solve. Today, scientists are still hard at work trying to solve some of Einstein's questions.

History

"In Their Ruin" opens in the colorful, parochial Chicago suburb of Cicero, beginning in the late 1940's when the remnants of the gang once led by Al Capone still existed and ethnic prejudices colored people's opinions. Chester, the Stone family's troubled father, is a bookie as well as a mathematical savant, and his brother is a hitman. Gladys, the mother, is from South Dakota and her family is equally influential in the development of the three children--brothers-- teaching them folk tales and family legends and how to hunt and fish during long summer vacations. As time passes, street gangs exert their power over the brothers' activities, and Gladys worries about her sons' safety as well as her husband's deteriorating mental health and the family's growing financial instability. It all becomes too much for her and ultimately the brothers are left to raise themselves in both conventional and unconventional ways. Their diverging paths and lingering psychic wounds lead to mutual estrangement, setting each brother on an individual journey to redemption. This novel does a brilliant job of presenting Chicago's working class as it was 75 years ago and as it has changed. ,

Literature & Fiction

Literary

Black Heron Press

Fiction. Following Joyce Goldenstern's voice is like following a train of thought... that suddenly leads to an epiphany. It is a voice that takes us deep into ourselves and shows us what we are made of, convincing us that despite our failed dreams, we are normal with our "Ten toes. Ten fingers. Two arms. Two legs. Two titties. One head. One heart." And that despite, or because, of that one heart, we constantly struggle to "find [our] way back to put [ourselves] together again" as we battle with "the important questions of life." Without pretense, her stories take us on the pilgrimage of life, hoping perhaps that we do reach some understanding.
