Complete Idiot's Guide

To understanding Einstein

You're no idiot of course. You know that Albert Einstein came up with the famous E=mc equation and that his hair looked like it had survived a nuclear test blast. But when it comes to understanding his theories and how they changed the world - well, you're no Einstein.

Relatively easy

Don't go nuclear yet! The Complete Idiot's Guide to Understanding Einstein shows how relatively easy - and fun - it can be to learn and appreciate the world of physics and Einstein's brillant accomplishments.

What Einstein told his cook

Einstein's cook was lucky. But you, too, can have a scientist in your kitchen: Robert L. Wolke. Does the alcohol really boil off when we cook with wine? Are smoked foods raw or cooked? Are green potatoes poisonous?
With the reliability that only a scientist can provide, Robert L. Wolke provides plain-talk explanations of kitchen mysteries with a liberal seasoning of wit. A professor of chemistry and a lifelong gastronome, he has answered hundreds of questions about food and cooking in his syndicated Washington Post column, "Food 101."

Kitchen science explained

Organized into basic categories for easy reference, What Einstein Told His Cook contains more than 130 lucid explanations of kitchen phenomena involving starches and sugars, salts, fats, meats and fish, heat and cold, cooking equipment, and more. Along the way, Wolke debunks some widely held myths about foods and cooking. Whether kept in the kitchen or on the reference shelf, What Einstein Told His Cook will be a friendly scientist at your elbow. 20 illustrations.
Robert L. Wolke is professor emeritus of chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh and winner of the James Beard Foundation and Bert Greene awards for food journalism.
