Albert Einstein kept the portraits of three inspiring predecessors on his study wall: Sir Isaac Newton, James Clerk Maxwell and Michael Faraday. This is the story of those three pioneers in the fundamental language of mathematics.

First published in 2003, Einstein's Heroes has been sold into the UK, USA, Japan, France and Turkey. In 2004, it was shortlisted for The Age Non-Fiction Book of the Year and the 2004 Victorian Premier's Prize (first book of history).
