Twenty-five years after its initial publication, The Making of the Atomic Bomb remains the definitive history of nuclear weapons and the Manhattan Project. From the turn-of-the-century discovery of nuclear energy to the dropping of the first bombs on Japan, Richard Rhodes’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book details the science, the people, and the socio-political realities that led to the development of the atomic bomb.
🔸 ALEX'S ADVENTURES IN NUMBERLAND: DISPATCHES FROM THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF MATHEMATICS
