Einstein: Image and Impact

This online biography explores every facet of Einstein’s life—not just his early years and annus mirabilis in 1905, but his ensuing fame, later theoretical work, campaigns against nuclear proliferation and broader philosophy.

The story is divided into chapters, each offering illustrative links, quotations and photographs, and the site’s designers have included even a “brief version” that surveys the physicist’s life in 1,000 words. The text throughout is clear and written to be accessible to a lay audience.

The site is well designed and easily navigated, including a site map and links to essays by historians and much more Einstein information elsewhere online. Its full content can even be downloaded in PDF format—a valuable feature that would be useful for educators.
