Sinopsis

This is a paperbound reprint of the 2004 work. Cathcart, a science writer but not himself a scientist, relates the story of how the atom was split in 1932 in terms of human dreams and human endeavor--in short, as an adventure tale that "involves people with ordinary lives and loves who worked with nothing more exotic than steel, wire, glass, oil, a few odd minerals and their own good sense." The science isn't lost in Cathcart's translation, it's simply made thrillingly accessible to anyone with an interest in how the atomic age came to be. Cathcart is a former reporter for Reuters and The Independent and the author of Test of Greatness: Britain's Struggle for the Atom Bomb. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
