Regarded as the founder of modern physics, Albert Einstein was born in 1879, in Ulm, Kingdom of Württemberg, German Empire. He completed his Ph.D. from the University of Zürich in 1905 and published four papers in the scientific journal named Annalen der Physik. These papers on photoelectric effect, Brownian motion, special relativity and mass-energy equivalence (E = mc2) were significant contributors to the foundation of modern physics. In the next few years, Einstein came to be recognized as a major scientist. 
He developed the general theory of relativity between 1907 and 1915. It was published in 1915. In 1916, Einstein published Relativity: The Special and the General Theory in German. Its first English translation was published in 1920. In 1921, Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to Theoretical Physics and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect." He published numerous scientific and non-scientific works. 
Einstein died on 18 April 1955, aged seventy-six, in Princeton, New Jersey.

Aldous Huxley was born on 26 July 1894 near Godalming, Surrey. He began writing poetry and short stories in his early 20s, but it was his first novel, Crome Yellow (1921), which established his literary reputation. This was swiftly followed by Antic Hay (1923), Those Barren Leaves (1925) and Point Counter Point (1928) – bright, brilliant satires in which Huxley wittily but ruthlessly passed judgement on the shortcomings of contemporary society. For most of the 1920s Huxley lived in Italy and an account of his experiences there can be found in Along the Road (1925). The great novels of ideas, including his most famous work Brave New World (published in 1932, this warned against the dehumanising aspects of scientific and material 'progress') and the pacifist novel Eyeless in Gaza (1936) were accompanied by a series of wise and brilliant essays, collected in volume form under titles such as Music at Night (1931) and Ends and Means (1937). In 1937, at the height of his fame, Huxley left Europe to live in California, working for a time as a screenwriter in Hollywood. As the West braced itself for war, Huxley came increasingly to believe that the key to solving the world's problems lay in changing the individual through mystical enlightenment. The exploration of the inner life through mysticism and hallucinogenic drugs was to dominate his work for the rest of his life. His beliefs found expression in both fiction (Time Must Have a Stop,1944, and Island, 1962) and non-fiction (The Perennial Philosophy, 1945; Grey Eminence, 1941; and the account of his first mescaline experience, The Doors of Perception, 1954). Huxley died in California on 22 November 1963.

In 2011 @stephenfry, actor, comedian, writer and famed alumnus of Cambridge University, tweeted:&lsquo;No! No! Say it ain&rsquo;t so &ndash; not Fitzbillies? Why I tweeted a pic of one of their peerless&#160;Chelsea buns but a sixmonth ago.&rsquo;Recession had driven the legendary Cambridge bakery into bankruptcy and it had shut its doors. Alison Wright and Tim Hayward read Stephen&#39;s tweet:Alison: &lsquo;Did you see the tweet?&rsquo; Tim: &lsquo;I did. Terribly sad. Awful how places like that are going...&rsquo; Alison: &lsquo;I&rsquo;ve called the agents. We&rsquo;re going to view it on Monday.&rsquo;And so a single Twitter post prompted Tim and Alison to abandon a life in London and to embark on rebuilding this beloved institution in the university city of Cambridge. Over the past 100 years Fitzbillies has welcomed students, dons and residents of the city, who flock to the caf&eacute; to tuck into their celebrated Chelsea buns, fancy cakes and afternoon teas.Featuring over 50 recipes, Fitzbillies celebrates a centenary of the shop, staff and cakes that have fed generations of writers, philosophers, Nobel prize-winning scientists, comedians, internationally renowned historians, musicians and film stars alike.

And in Norway, if you&rsquo;re slow on the uptake, the locals would suspect you were &lsquo;born behind a brown cheese&rsquo; (&lsquo;&Aring; v&aelig;re f&oslash;dt bak en brunost&rsquo;).This witty, enlightening book will give you 50 phrases you never knew you needed in your life, explaining their origin and literal translations, with gorgeous colour illustrations throughout.

Ever wondered why we touch wood, salute magpies, skip over cracks and throw salt over our&#160;shoulders? Then Sally Coulthard has the answer as she gets under the skin of these peculiar pastimes&#160;in her new book Superstition.&#160;Exploring&#160;the history and background of fifty of these fascinating cultural behaviours, discover&#160;how they affected our everyday life and why many of these beliefs are still pertinent today. 
 
 Superstitions reveal the hopes, fears and preoccupations of our ancestors and give&#160;a fascinating glimpse into how they lived. Seemingly bizarre folk beliefs and practices &ndash; in&#160;farming,&#160;marriage, craft, love, feasting, birth and death &ndash;&#160;often have their roots in real-life worries and desires.&#160;By looking at the material circumstances and challenging environments of our forefathers we start to understand how strange rituals and rules give comfort and reassurance, whether it&rsquo;s hoping for a good harvest, wishing our loved ones a safe journey or trying for a baby. 
 &#160; 
 Pick a side. This is a book with two covers, giving you the chance to decide if you want to enter the light or dark side.&#160;With its gorgeous folk illustrations and light-hearted tone, Superstition aims not only to give readers a fascinating insight into recent history but also bring a smile of recognition that, perhaps, we&rsquo;ve got more in common with our superstitious ancestors than we&rsquo;d care to admit.

In many cases, they can have enormous repercussions that mould both the society we live in today and the people we are.From the innocent wrong turn by a chauffeur driving Archduke Ferdinand in June 1914 that led to World War I, to the Saxon leader, Byrhtnoth&rsquo;s act of chivalry in 991 that paved the way for British comedy as we know it today, this brilliant new addition to Dixe Will&#39;s bestselling books Tiny Churches, Tiny Islands and Tiny Stations &shy;looks behind the scenes of wars, politics, the arts, food, science, and even health and safety.Perfect for history buffs and pub-quiz fans, this brilliant book also serves to make us all more aware that in an age of so many dramatic changes, challenges and unknowns, it is not always what makes the headlines that shapes the future for generations to come.

Hannah Ewens

A FINANCIAL TIMES MUSIC BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019From Beatlemania in the early 1960s to the Directioners and Beyhive of today, female music fans have long driven the objects of their affection to the dizzying heights of life-changing fame. But marginalized fan groups are never given appropriate credit. Frequently derided, their worlds and communities are self-contained and rarely investigated by cultural historians and commentators.Yet without these people, in the past, records would have gathered dust on shelves, unsold and forgotten. Now, concerts wouldn&rsquo;t sell out and revenue streams from merchandising would disappear, changing the face of the music industry as we know it.In Fangirls: Scenes From Modern Music Culture, journalist Hannah Ewens is on a mission to give these individuals their rightful due. A dedicated music lover herself, she has spoken to hundreds of fans from the UK to Japan to trace their path through recent pop and rock history. She&rsquo;s found the untold stories behind important events and uncovered the ups, the downs and the lengths fans go to, celebrating the camaraderie and lifelines their fandoms can provide.

David Bez

How many of us are utterly bored with the bland, expensive, unhealthy or just too similar to what we had yesterday lunch at our desks? 
 
 David Bez is a food lover with a limited lunch break; an Italian who cares about what&#39;s on his plate; a designer who knows that you eat with your eyes first. For several years, he has made himself a salad for lunch every day at work, with fresh ingredients, minimum preparation time, and maximum flavour. Day after day, his colleagues peer over his shoulder to watch him craft yet another beautiful salad perfectly balanced in its composition and bound to both satisfy him and energize him for the afternoon ahead. 
 
 His winning formula for creating salads is to layer a base, vegetables or fruit, fresh herbs, protein toppings and dressings, which creates a perfect salad every time. Clearly marked with a vegetarian, vegan, raw, omnivore or pescatarian designation, every salad is an inspiration and can be adapted to suit a different diet. Fresh, tinned, jarred and pre-cooked ingredients are all explored; seasonality is key and variety keeps things nutritious and exciting.
