Images of the Heart and Mind for Einstein

By Doug Brooks

This book is a declaration of the power of the imagination. The manifestation of the imagination transcends the literal, concrete conclusions that knowledge often verifies. Poetry and photographs, especially B&Wits the imageoffer a moment to think, wonder, ponder and question reality and the power of the human spirit. We contemplate something we may have not considered before the moment, and those moments present the opportunity to grow, even just a little. Einstein knew it and believed. Its about holding a moment in our heart and mind, like the laugh of a child, a song, an embrace, a discovery, a revelation that stays with you forever and sometimes makes the world a little brighter.
