O tym produkcie
Product Information
Pais introduces us to a precocious youth who sped through Harvard in three years, made signal contributions to quantum mechanics while in his twenties, and was instrumental in the growth of American physics in the decade before the Second World War. He paints a revealing portrait of Oppenheimer's life in Los Alamos, where in twenty remarkable, feverish months, and under his inspired guidance, the first atomic bomb was designed and built, a success that made Oppenheimer America's most famous scientist. Pais describes Oppenheimer's long tenure as Director of the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton, where the two men worked together closely. He shows not only Oppenheimer's brilliance and leadership, but also how his displays of intensity and arrogance won him powerful enemies.

Reviews
"What Pais has done is nothing short of extraordinary. He has brought to light the interior life of one of the most brilliant and complex figures in the history of American physics, and both he and Crease examine with intimidating thoroughness the triumphs and failures of that remarkableman."--Chicago Jewish Star, "The result is what C.N. Yang called 'a kaleidoscopic approach to [Oppenheimer's] life, shedding insightful light on [his] personality and times.'"-- Physics Today, "An indispensable new look at the ever-enigmatic Oppenheimer."--Booklist (starred review)"A gripping review of the man who really created the atomic bomb and fought to stop the hydrogen bomb. Read this book and find out why."--"Talk of the Town" (WTVF)"Abraham Pais, master of the scientific biography, waited 20 years before tackling his enigmatic neighbor and friend at Princeton.... Faithfully supplemented by historian Robert P. Crease, the result is a personal recollection as tormented as the atomic father's own soul."--Seed Magazine"J. Robert Oppenheimer was an extraordinarily brilliant and complex man. In this book Abraham Pais and Robert Crease take a kaleidoscopic approach to his life, shedding insightful light on the personality and the times of the scientist who played such an important role in the future destiny of mankind."--C.

Yang called 'a kaleidoscopic approach to [Oppenheimer's] life, shedding insightful light on [his] personality and times.'"-- Physics Today"An indispensable new look at the ever-enigmatic Oppenheimer.... Although Pais details Oppenheimer's rare achievements as a researcher, teacher, and administrator, the portrait he finally delivers is that of a brilliant but arrogant mind falling short of lofty expectations."--Booklist (starred review)"Abraham Pais, master of the scientific biography, waited 20 years before tackling his enigmatic neighbor and friend at Princeton....
