the first experimental confirmation on 13 January 1939

introduces the word `fission'. The paper accompanies
three others
\cite{Meitner:1939:DUN,Meitner:1939:NPF,Meitner:1939:PFUb}.
Niels Bohr and L{\'e}on Rosenfeld brought the news to
America in early January 1939, and Hahn and
Strassmann's work was quickly reproduced in several US
labs that month. From the paper: ``This seems to be
conclusive physical evidence for the breaking up of
uranium nuclei into parts of comparable size, as
indicated by the experiments of Hahn and
Strassmann.''",

abstract = "Originally dated March 1940, this important historical
document addresses the possibility of constructing a
``super-bomb'' based on the atomic science of the time.
Physicists Otto Frisch and Rudolph Peierls explain the
scientific principles at work in the super-bomb,
describing the nuclear chain reaction and identifying
the critical amount of enriched uranium (U-235)
required for the bomb. Furthermore, they discuss the
bomb from a military perspective, specifically
addressing its possible use in World War II. Until this
memorandum was written, an atomic bomb was thought to
require too much uranium to be practical in warfare.
Frisch and Peierls offer hypotheses on the range and
force of the explosion, the dangers of radiation, and
the options for protection against the bomb. While
cautioning the government against potential dangers,
the memo urges the United States to initiate production
of the bomb, citing the wide accessibility of the
science behind it and, hence, the possibility that
Germany could already be developing the weapon. The
memorandum is an excellent example of communicating
scientific principles to a general audience. It is the
first of two parts of the Frisch-Peierls Memorandum;
the second offers more scientific and technical
details.",

difference between those cases [radioactive decay and
chemical reactions], and it is misleading to state, as
the daily Press has done, that atomic energy, in
contrast to chemical energy, depends on Einstein's
principle of the equivalence of mass and energy. In
both forms of energy production the mass change is
unobservably small. What Einstein's formula does is to
limit the amount of energy which could possibly be
obtained from a given amount of matter.''.",
remark-2 = "From page 82: ``All light nuclei are indeed lighter
than the fragments into which they might get broken, so
breaking them will not give us a source of energy. But,
as one goes to heavier nuclei one finds that the mass
defect --- the amount by which the mass of a nucleus is
smaller than that of all the protons and neutrons of
which it consists --- does not grow as fast as the mass
itself, and the heaviest nuclei should be capable of
breaking up into lighter ones, with the liberation of
large amounts of energy and probably of some neutrons.
Those neutrons might stimulate the break-up of further
heavy nuclei and there we would have our chain
reaction.''",
remark-3 = "From page 83: ``Why do they [alpha particles (He$^+$
ions)] come out one by one? Five helium nuclei could be
united into one neon nucleus, with the liberation of
some extra energy; yet the emission of a neon nucleus
is never observed. The quantum theory explains that:
according to its formulae, the heavier neon nucleus
would have vastly greater difficulty in penetrating the
potential barrier, and it is much easier for the same
amount of nuclear matter to seep out in the form of
five successive helium nuclei than in one big lump.
What all physicists overlooked was that this argument
fails for the break-up of a heavy nucleus into two
approximately equal parts. In that case the available
energy becomes so large that there is practically no
potential barrier to be overcome.''",
remark-4 = "From page 83: ``One small effect, discovered by
Roberts, Meyer and Wang early in 1939 turned out to be
of enormous importance: the presence of delayed
neutrons. They are emitted, not in the fission act by
fragments still `hot' from the upheaval that made them,
but seconds later as a consequence of the radioactive
transformation of some of those fragments. It is on
those neutrons that the possibility of a controlled
reaction largely depends.''",
remark-5 = "From page 84: ``Bohr concluded, early in 1939, that
the fission caused by slow neutrons happened with
nuclei, not of $^{238}$U but of a slight admixture
(0.7\%) of $^{235}$U. That surprising conclusion was
based on rather subtle arguments and at first met with
some scepticism; but it was proved correct a couple of
years later when small amounts of $^{235}$U had been
separated out with the help of a mass spectrometer.''",
remark-6 = "From page 85: ``We knew that we could stop the chain
reaction at any tune by removing a few bricks (or a few
blocks of the surrounding material), and we never felt
that those experiments were dangerous; actually two
people died by causing, through some minor slip, a
large quantity of neutrons to pass through their
bodies, and I once nearly became the third.''",

nucleus was born late; the compound-nucleus idea was
conceived by Bohr only late in 1936.'' [Not so: George
Gamow wrote several papers on the liquid-drop model
from 1928 to 1936, and had very likely discussed them
with Niels Bohr, who himself had done his first
published work in 1909 on the surface tension of
water.]",

quite rightly pointed out that they might be lighter
elements [after bombardment of uranium by neutrons];
but her comments (published in a journal not much read
by chemists and hardly at all by physicists) were
regarded as mere pedantry [\cite{Noddack:1934:EGE}].
She did not indicate how such light elements could be
formed; her paper had probably no effect whatever on
later work.''",

arrival [in New York City] he and Rosenfeld finished a

that fission takes place appeared in the newspapers of
the twenty-ninth [of January 1939].''",

[of the nuclear state in the droplet model]? Happily,
in earlier days, several persons in the Princeton
community --- among them Henry Eyring and Eugene Wigner
--- had been occupied by the theory of the rates of
chemical reactions.''",

on the first atom bomb, which he saw explode in the

into contact with figures such as Robert Oppenheimer,
Edward Teller, Richard Feynman and the father of
electronic computers, John von Neumann. He also
encountered the physicists who had made the great
discoveries of recent generations: Einstein, Rutherford
and Niels Bohr. This characterful book of reminiscences
sheds an engagingly personal light on the people and

discoveries of this century, illustrated with a series
of fascinating photographs and witty sketches by the

remark-1 = "This is one of the most important scientific papers of
the 20th Century. It is the fundamental paper that
describes the first experimental evidence of nuclear
fission, and was accompanied by a second paper
\cite{Hahn:1939:NEA} received on the same day, but
published a month (five issues) later. Hahn's long-time
collaborator, Lise Meitner (who had escaped Nazi
Germany in July 1938, first to The Netherlands, then to
Sweden) and her nephew, Otto Frisch, made a critical
analysis of the experimental results on 24 December
1938. Word from Frisch soon reached Niels Bohr in
Copenhagen, who then carried the news in a visit to the
eastern United States in early January 1939, and
announced the Meitner--Frisch explanation on 26 January
at a conference in theoretical physics at the Carnegie
Institution of Washington. By the end of that month,
American physicists were widely aware of the discovery,
and Robert Oppenheimer at the University of California,
Berkeley, had already roughly sketched how to build a
fission bomb.
Prior to this work, all previous experiments found that
neutron bombardment increased the atomic weight by just
one or two, leaving the charge, and the chemical
nature, of the atom unchanged. The new experiments
described in this paper found products that chemically
resembled lighter atoms, but were conservatively called
variants of the heavier radium, actinium, and thorium
(elements 88, 89, and 90). The third last paragraph of
the article is particularly significant: the authors
wrote ``As chemists we really ought to revise the decay
scheme given above and insert the symbols Ba, La, Ce
[barium, lanthanum, and cerium: elements 56, 57, and
58] in place of Ra, Ac, Th. However as ``nuclear
chemists,'' working very close to the field of physics,
we cannot bring ourselves yet to take such a drastic
step which goes against all previous experience in
nuclear physics. There could perhaps be a series of
unusual coincidences which has given us false
information.''
Einstein later remarked \cite{Einstein:1950:MLYa} about
the Hahn and Strassmann discovery ``this was not
something I could have predicted.''
In 1945, Otto Hahn received the Nobel Prize in
Chemistry for 1944 for the discovery of fission; see
\path=http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/1944/=,
and biographies at
\path=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Hahn= and
\path=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_Strassmann=.
He was unable to attend the Nobel ceremonies, because
he was a prisoner at Farm Hall outside Cambridge,
England \cite{Bernstein:1996:HUC}.
The subsequent view of many scientists is that
Strassmann and Meitner should have shared the Nobel
Prize.",
remark-2 = "From \cite[page 64]{Sime:2012:PFO}: ``Hahn and
Strassmann's barium publication appeared in Germany in
Naturwissenschaften on January 5, 1939, but even before
that Frisch told Niels Bohr, who was about to sail from
Copenhagen to New York, from where the news spread to
Princeton, Columbia, and a meeting of theoretical
physicists in Washington, DC. By the end of January The
New York Times was headlining a ``New Physics
Phenomenon Credited to Hahn,'' with an emphasis on
`atom explosions,' `vast energy,' and `gigantic atomic
cannonballs'.''",

own hands a fine Macleod gauge --- and were horrified
by destroying it in the classical manner just as
Rutherford walked in at the door. He was sympathetic,
but explained that he did not keep students who had too
many accidents. This dislike of sins against apparatus
was one of Rutherford's well marked
characteristics.''",
remark-02 = "From page 627: ``During this period Blackett embarked
on his courageous attempt to get a Wilson chamber
photograph of the nitrogen disintegration. He took
photographs of hundreds of thousands of tracks and was
eventually rewarded (figure 6) by seeing the tracks of
disintegration protons. The photograph shows a long
proton track shooting downwards. An alpha particle has
entered a nitrogen nucleus, ejecting a proton and
leaving oxygen behind, producing the transmutations
N-14 + He-4 to O-17 + H-1. This was the first direct
proof that the alpha particle is captured in the
transmutation.''",
remark-03 = "From pages 627--628: ``They [Ernest Rutherford and
Ernest Marsden] were able to show that near heavy
nuclei, such as gold, the inverse square law held up to
the limits of penetration of the fastest alpha
particles available. But with the lighter elements they
found very marked deviations. These experiments
presented Rutherford with the paradox that the
potential barrier round the heavy nuclei must rise well
beyond 10 million volts, whereas alpha particles come
out of these nuclei at energies between 4 and 8 million
volts. The alpha particles do not therefore escape with
the full energy of the potential field. The solution to
this problem was provided by a visitor to the
laboratory; a young and imaginative theoretical
physicist from Leningrad, Dr. Gamow saw that the
solution was provided by the new wave mechanics which
was then being developed by Schr{\"o}dinger and others.
On the new ideas it was evident that the alpha
particles could leak through the potential barriers of
the nuclei, and so need not have the full energy of the
field. In this way, nuclear physicists were given a new
and most fruitful model to guide their researches.''",
remark-04 = "From page 629: ``About the same time I started to
build the first high-voltage apparatus for the
acceleration of protons. I was led to do this by the
predictions of Gamow's theory that protons of a few
hundred kilovolts should penetrate the barriers of
light nuclei. These predictions were submitted to
Rutherford and he encouraged me to go ahead.''",
remark-05 = "From page 629: ``Very swiftly, Dee and Feather were
set to work with their expansion chambers to look for
the tracks of the projected particles. Dee found the
tracks of proton and other recoils and Feather
discovered the transmutation of nitrogen by neutrons,
the first of the transmutations by this new
particle.''",
remark-06 = "From page 630: ``About the same time in 1933
Rutherford received from G. N. Lewis the first sample
of heavy hydrogen to reach Europe. Within a few days
the sample was converted into deuterium gas, which
Rutherford guarded with the most jealous care. He
turned at once with Oliphant to do experiments with
deuterons and soon discovered the transmutation of
deuterium by deuterons. They found that two reactions
occurred, D + D = H-1 + H-3 or He-3 + n, leading to the
new elements H-3 and He-3.''",
remark-07 = "From page 630: ``During 1932 we had a visit from
Millikan, who brought with him some very remarkable
cosmic-ray photographs taken by Anderson which gave the
first indications of positive electrons. Immediately
after that, Blackett and Occhialini turned on their
Wilson chamber to the search. Introducing the principle
of counter control, they very soon obtained some
remarkable photographs, showing pairs of positive and
negative electrons, and in some cases showers of
particles.''",
remark-08 = "From page 630: ``The discovery of artificial
radioactivity was missed in the laboratory, largely
because we did not in general work with Geiger
counters, and were looking for particles either with
scintillation screens or with counters which would not
respond to beta rays. When Curie-Joliot announced the
discovery of the production of artificial radioactivity
of alpha particle bombardment, Walton and I were able
to borrow a Geiger counter equipment from Bainbridge
and to show that protons could produce artificial
radioactivity in carbon.''",

influence was a major factor in the scientific

first days of the war and developed for Britain and the
allied cause the centimetric radar which turned the
tide of the U-boat battle, directed the bombing of
Germany and helped decisively to sink the Japanese
fleet. The Liverpool branch of the Rutherford School,
with Frisch and Peierls from Birmingham, initiated the
work on the atomic bomb which ended the war with
Japan.''",

Rutherford. This fund provides for post-graduate
training and research of selected young men and women
but its Committee is also charged with the duty of
arranging for the delivery of annual lectures in the
Commonwealth countries in turn and dealing with some
aspect of Rutherford's life or developments of the
scientific work he inaugurated.''",
remark-02 = "From page 286: ``Mrs Rutherford had at that time a
governess to assist with the younger children and the
latter has recorded `Ernest never needed to study;
having read a school book once he knew it.'\,''",
remark-03 = "From page 289: ``The [1851 Exhibition] scholarship was
of value of \pounds 150 per annum but there was no
allowance for travel to Britain, so Rutherford had
perforce to borrow, from his father and eldest brother,
and this necessitated careful living for the first
years of his career in England.''",
remark-04 = "From page 290: ``\ldots{} Henri Becquerel in France,
considering that the X-rays were somehow connected with
the fluorescence, was led to try to obtain X-radiation
from the various phosphorescent and fluorescent
materials of which he had a good collection from his
father and he discovered that uranium and its salts
emitted a continuous radiation (February 1896) which
was however later found to be independent of its state
of fluorescence. Madame Curie discovered in 1898 that
thorium showed similar properties and she coined the
word 'radioactivity'.''",
remark-05 = "From page 290: ``Pitchblende-which is a uranium
mineral-was weight for weight decidedly more powerful
[than uranium compounds]. This led the Curies
ultimately to the discovery of radium and of polonium
by chemical separation from the pitchblende.''",
remark-06 = "From page 290: ``Following Becquerel's announcement he
[Rutherford] tried uranium and found that its
radiations were able to produce ions in a gas with
similar properties to those produced by X-rays. This
was probably for him the most important event in his
career for it directed his work towards radioactivity,
which subject was to occupy him for the rest of his
life. His next result was the discovery that uranium
emitted two kinds of radiation, one very easily
absorbed and with limited range which he called
$\alpha$ and one fully a thousand times more
penetrating which he named $\beta$.''",
remark-07 = "From page 291: ``The post [at McGill University] was
known as the Macdonald Professorship, having been
endowed by [Canadian tobacco magnate] Macdonald along
with excellent laboratory buildings. The salary was
\pounds 500 per annum which Macdonald thought
sufficient as he himself, although a millionaire, lived
on \pounds 250 per annum. Rutherford was successful in
obtaining the position thanks to a strong
recommendation from Thomson and he sailed for Canada in
September 1898, \ldots{}''",
remark-08 = "From page 291: ``\ldots{} a slight draught of air
caused by the opening and shutting of the door of the
room often altered markedly the movement of the
electrometer needle. It was found that the conductivity
persisted when the thoria was covered with a few sheets
of filter paper. By passing a steady current of air
over the thoria the activity was much reduced. In these
respects thorium compounds were very different from
uranium from which the radiation was constant.''",
remark-09 = "From pages 301--302: ``Thus by the bombardment with
neutrons uranium had been split up into two nuclei of
moderate weight, the one barium and the other was soon
discovered --- krypton. Their nuclear charges 56 and 36
respectively add up to 92, that of uranium. Lise
Meitner and [Otto Robert] Frisch in [Niels] Bohr's
laboratory in Denmark, as refugees from Nazi Germany,
were the first to give the explanation, i.e. that
fission of the nucleus had taken place into two major
fragments and it was deduced from Einstein's equation
that tremendous energy was liberated. The mass of the
highest known isotopes of barium and krypton add up to
224 while the uranium-235 which had undergone fission
after absorbing a neutron had the mass number 226.
Apart from the possible loss of mass by radiation from
the fragments before barium and krypton appeared, there
seemed a possibility that several neutrons were emitted
directly in the fission explosion. The actual
experimental proof of this was given first by
Joliot-Curie and his co-workers in France and
independently by workers in the United States to whom
Bohr, as a visiting lecturer, had given the news of the
antecedent developments by Meitner and Frisch.
Theoretically this opened up the realization of a chain
reaction, i.e. a reaction in a bulk of uranium
continued by new neutrons from fresh fissions and with
this a practical technical utilization of the energy
set free in fission, each pound of fissile material
uranium-235 producing as much heat energy as 1000 tons
of good coal.''",
remark-10 = "From page 304: ``At his [Rutherford's] laboratory in
Manchester for example he had working with him men and
women from Japan, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Holland,
Russia, Poland, Austria, Italy, U.S.A. and practically
all the Commonwealth countries while his correspondence
shows that he was in active correspondence with
scientific leaders from all these and other
countries.''",

of atomic physics. To split heavy atomic nuclei into
lighter ones was then considered impossible. Thus our
experiments appeared to establish the correctness of
Fermi's assertion that he had detected `transuranic
elements.' Actually, as we were to learn later, all of
the radioactive substances detected in these early
experiments were fission products, not transuranic
elements.'' For Noddack's work and comments about it,

During the war we continued, together with two or three

of 1945 we had made up a table containing approximately
100 fission products and their transformations. But the
science of fission was then a classified subject in the

shall have many occasions in the future to refer to
this apparatus, we feel that it should have a name. The
term `magnetic resonance accelerator' is suggested.
\ldots{} The word `cyclotron,' of obvious derivation,
has come to be used as a sort of laboratory slang for
the magnetic device.'''",
remark-4 = "From the footnote on page 49: ``The evident confusion
in nomenclature arose in this way. G. N. Lewis had
proposed the name `deuton' for the nucleus of the atom
of heavy hydrogen. Rutherford objected strongly to
this, feeling that it would inevitably lead to
confusion with neutron, especially in the spoken word.
After discussion with his classical colleagues, he
proposed the name `diplon,' for the nucleus, and
`diplogen' for the atom, terms derived from Greek, and
analogous to proton and hydrogen. The dual nomenclature
was given up eventually, and the compromise `deuteron'
and `deuterium' was accepted. It was said by one cynic
that Ernest Rutherford was happy when his initials were
inserted into deuton!''",

the latter was described in papers submitted to Nature,

However, that was not clear to Rosenfeld, who discussed
the work with John Wheeler and colleagues at Princeton.
Within days, the news spread to other physicists in the

Roberts, and he was called Otto. This usage seems to
have persisted; his book of recollections (B5) and some
articles are headed `Otto Frisch'.''",
remark-2 = "From page 291: ``The annual reports of the Chemical
Society contained a section on nuclear physics, and
Frisch and I had been asked to write this for the
current volume. Naturally the part on the experimental
situation, and on fission, fell to him (38). His report
included the conclusion that there was no possibility
of an explosive chain reaction. But further reflection,
stimulated by his interest in isotope separation, set
him wondering what would happen if one could obtain a
substantial quantity of pure 235U. He raised this
question in conversation with me, because I had
recently worked out a formula giving the critical size
for a chain reaction not involving the slowing-down of
neutrons. I had been doubtful about the propriety of
publishing such a calculation, but Frisch had convinced
me that a weapon was not a practical possibility, and I
sent the paper off for publication.''",
remark-3 = "From page 291: ``This [a critical mass of uranium
about a half-kg] seemed an important enough finding to
communicate to people in authority, and we wrote a
memorandum, divided into a technical and a general
part, which, with Oliphant's help, was passed on to Sir
Henry Tizard. This led to the work of the MAUD
Committee, and later to the work of the Tube Alloys
project. (Both names were just cover names for atomic
energy.''",
remark-4 = "From pages 292--293: ``He remained in Liverpool until
late in 1943, when it was decided to discontinue
wartime work on atomic energy in Britain and to
transfer many of the scientists engaged in this work,
including Frisch, to the United States to work with the
Manhattan District of the Army on the American atomic
weapons project. He could not very well go there as an
enemy alien, and steps were taken to make him a British
subject. This would normally have been a protracted
operation, but in this case bureaucracy proved its
ability to move fast. He had to apply for
naturalization, the application had to be granted by
the Home Secretary, a certificate had to be issued, and
with it he had to take the oath of allegiance, he had
to register for National Service, and have his service
deferred, a passport had to be issued, on which he
needed a U.S. visa and an exit permit, and finally he
had to be booked a passage on a boat and sail. All this
was completed in 48 hours.''",
remark-5 = "From page 293: ``Frisch had a narrow escape when he
was working with a bare mass of fissile material
(appropriately code-named Godiva) without a surrounding
scatterer. As he bent over the specimen, slow neutrons
scattered from his body added sufficiently to the
multiplication factor to pass criticality. Only his
alertness in observing the behaviour of the indicator
lights attached to the counters, and a quick reaction
in pulling away part of the fissile material, stopped
the chain reaction reaching a dangerous radiation
level.''",
remark-6 = "From page 294: ``The most daring experiment of this
kind was the 'dragon', so called because it was like
tickling the tail of a dragon. The idea, proposed by
Frisch, was to have a piece of fissile material which,
because of a hole through its middle, was sub-critical.
A plug, which fitted loosely in the hole, would make it
supercritical. The plug was dropped through the hole
from a suitable height, so that it passed through
rapidly. The system would thus become supercritical for
a brief interval, and during this time a chain reaction
would develop but would not have time to build up to
dangerous level.''",
remark-7 = "From page 297: ``He [Frisch] did enjoy being there [at
the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, UK]. He
appreciated the high quality of the research and its
breadth, and the presence of enthusiastic and bright
students. For undergraduates his lectures seem to have
been difficult, because he expected them to think too
much for themselves. But for graduate students his
ability to find simple pictures and analogies, and his
insistence on simple explanations made his lectures
attractive and inspiring. Dr Alan Oxley remembers the
verse: 'If ever you're troubled by nuclear parity, Old
Father Frisch will explain it with clarity.'''",
remark-8 = "From page 301: ``He [Frisch] remained active and
enjoyed life until the accidental fall which caused his
death after a short period in hospital. He just missed
his seventy-fifth birthday, to which he had been
looking forward.''",

theory of the Periodic Table, had assigned electron
configurations and the associated chemical properties
to the several `missing elements', among them element
72, which Bohr decided must be chemically similar to
zirconium. Now among the first appointees to his
institute were George de Hevesy, a brilliant Hungarian
chemist, and the Dutchman Dirk Coster, an expert in
x-ray spectroscopy. Between them, de Hevesy and Coster
made extractions from zirconium minerals and tested
these for the appearance of characteristic x-rays
belonging to $Z = 72$. Their work bore fruit just in
time for Bohr to announce the discovery of element 72
at his Nobel Prize lecture in Stockholm in December
1922. The new element was christened hafnium, after the
old Latin name for Copenhagen.''",
remark-2 = "From page 221: ``[Niels Bohr] made some theoretical
studies of the passage of charged particles through
matter (a topic that continued to hold his interest
throughout his life), and from a consideration of the
chains of successive alpha- and beta-particle emissions
in natural radioactive series he arrived (and was
probably the first person to do so) at the idea of
nuclear isotopy.''",
remark-3 = "From page 222: ``Bohr did not stop at the hydrogen
atom, and over the next decade he worked at the
electron configurations in heavier atoms. \ldots{} In
fact he developed a table of the quantised electron
states for all the atoms in the Periodic Table. It was
a {\em tour de force\/} depending mainly on his skilful
use of the correspondence principle, supplemented by
his wide knowledge of chemistry and spectroscopy.
Detailed calculations hardly entered the picture at all
--- a fact that astonished the rigorous mathematical
physicists at the University of G{\"o}ttingen when Bohr
went there in 1922 to expound his results. (It was
remarked that his use of the correspondence principle
was `a somewhat mystical magic wand', which worked only
in Copenhagen!) Bohr's achievement is even more
remarkable when one recalls that the Pauli exclusion
principle, which is the basis of our current picture of
atomic structure, was not discovered until 1925.''",
remark-4 = "From page 223: ``Bohr invited Schr{\"o}dinger to
Copenhagen for extended discussions with himself and
Heisenberg. The episode has been entertainingly
described by Heisenberg (1971); as with Rutherford in
1913, Bohr was tireless (almost relentless) in pressing
his own point of view. Schr{\"o}dinger went home
exhausted but unconvinced [that there was some element
of reality in Schr{\"o}dinger's waves].''",
remark-5 = "From page 223: ``Bohr regarded this situation
[complementarity] in the subatomic world as a profound
intellectual challenge; as quoted by Otto Frisch (1979)
he once remarked: `If anybody says he can think about
quantum theory without getting giddy it merely shows
that he hasn't understood the first thing about
it!'''",
remark-6 = "On nuclear reactions, on page 224: ``But evidence
accumulated of peculiar `resonance' effects --- a
sensitive dependence of reaction probability on
bombarding energy. It was Niels Bohr, in 1935, who
provided the explanation. namely that between the
initial and final stages there may be a relatively
long-lived compound nuclear state. \ldots{} essential
idea was quickly taken up and exploited by Bohr's

papers of Sir Rudolf Peierls (1907--1995), including
the Peierls--Frisch Memoranda of 1940 on the
feasibility, and the predicted human effects, of an
atomic bomb made of uranium-235. His papers range
widely in topic. They include much on the fundamentals
of solid state physics, the thermal and electric
conductivity of materials as a function of temperature
T (especially T$_0$), the interpretation of the de
Haas--van Alphen effect observed for a metal in a
magnetic field, and the basics of transport theory.
Many are on problems in statistical mechanics,
including his constructive paper demonstrating the
existence of a phase transition for Ising's model for a
two-dimensional ferromagnet. In nuclear physics, they
include the first calculations (with Bethe) on the
photo-disintegration of the deuteron (made in response
to a challenge by Chadwick), the Kapur--Peierls theory
of resonance phenomena in nuclear reactions, the
Bohr--Peierls--Placzek continuum model for complex
nuclei (which first explained the narrow resonances
observed for low energy neutrons incident on very heavy
nuclei), and the Peierls--Thouless variational approach
to collective phenomena in nuclei. Several of Peierls's
wartime papers, now declassified, are here published

abstract = "This essay discusses the historical and scientific
basis of the two theories of the nucleus which led to
the groundbreaking 1938 theory of nuclear fission by
Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch. The first theory,
developed between 1928 and 1936, was pioneered by
George Gamow, who suggested that the nucleus could be
considered to be like a drop of liquid, with energy
holding the subatomic particles together just as
tension holds together liquid particles. The second
theory is Niels Bohr's 1936 theory of the compound
nucleus, which describes the way in which particles may
be released from the nucleus or that the nucleus may be
destroyed by raising the energy of a particle which
strikes the nucleus. The author suggests that Meitner
and Frisch combined those two theories to reach a
theory of fission that describes how a nucleus may be
split and the energy that is produced. Although the
article does present the equations and the reasoning
behind the theories, it is largely understandable by a
general audience.",

miscrediting of the liquid-drop model of nuclear
fission to Niels Bohr and John Wheeler in 1939, instead
of, properly, to George Gamow in 1928. It deserves to

modern nuclear physics.",

Copenhagen for Cambridge, sometime in December 1928,
Gamow conceived the liquid-drop model of the
nucleus.''",

Rutherford's remarks [at a meeting of the Royal Society
in London on February 7, 1929], and his response
constituted the first appearance of the liquid-drop
model in print.''",
remark-03 = "From page 85: ``In early April 1930 he [Gamow] visited
Manchester where he discussed his liquid-drop model
with Nevill Mott \ldots{} About a week later, he
traveled to Copenhagen \ldots{} where he discussed his
mass-defect calculations with Bohr \ldots{} Still, he
did not succeed in overcoming his difficulties.
Consequently, he published nothing further on the
mass-defect curve, turning instead to other problems in
nuclear physics in the summer of 1930.''",
remark-04 = "From page 86: Gamow was denied a passport to leave
Russia to attend the 31 October 1931 conference on
nuclear physics organized by Enrico Fermi. ``Unable to
leave Russia, he went to Leningrad, married Lyubov
Vokhminzeva, and took up a position as professor of
physics at the university. His paper for the Rome
conference was read by Max Delbr{\"u}ck.''",
remark-05 = "From page 86: ``[Fritz] Houtermans included an
extensive discussion of Gamow's liquid-drop model in a
long review article that he published in the
\booktitle{Ergebnisse der exakten
Naturwissenschaften}.''",

Rutherford, James Chadwick, and Charles D. Ellis
published, \booktitle{Radiations from Radioactive
Substances} (1930), Rutherford discussed Gamow's
liquid-drop model at length, \ldots{}''",
remark-07 = "From pages 87--88: ``He [Heisenberg] began to change
his mind [about whether or not the neutron was an
electron-proton composite particle] only in 1933, after
Ettore Majorana, who according to Emilio Segr{\`e}
\ldots{} immediately accepted the neutron as a new
elementary particle, introduced a new neutron-proton
force involving the exchange of spin as well as charge.
A compelling argument for adopting Majorana's exchange
force over Heisenberg's was that it saturated at the
alpha particle, thus accounting for the high stability
of that particle, whereas Heisenberg's saturated at the
deuteron, a particle soon found to be not particularly
stable.''",
remark-08 = "From footnote 22 on page 88: ``For an account of
Fermi's unsuccessful attempts to persuade Majorana to
publish his theory [on nuclear exchange forces] and
Heisenberg's success in doing so, see Amaldi 1984, pp.
44--45.''",

approximation.''",

origin of the above formula, whereas von Weizs{\"a}cker
embedded his treatment within the context of Gamow's
liquid-drop model of the nucleus.'' Bethe and Bacher's
148-page Part A nuclear physics article in
\booktitle{Reviews of Modern Physics} in 1936 has only
two brief references to Gamow's publications, and does
not discuss Gamow's liquid-drop model. Bethe's 181-page
Part B paper in that journal in 1937, and Livingston
and Bethe's 154-pages Part C paper, also in 1937, have
more references to Gamow's work, but primarily those
involved with his estimation of nuclear size, and his
theory of alpha decay. As a result, many physicists
incorrectly attributed the liquid-drop model to its use
by Bohr and Wheeler in their widely-read September 1939
\booktitle{Physical Review} article entitled ``The
Mechanism of Nuclear Fission''.",
remark-11 = "From page 118: ``Although Bohr was present at its
creation in Copenhagen at the end of 1928, and although
he commented on Gamow's contribution at the Solvay
conference in 1933, he did not cite Gamow as the
originator of the liquid-drop model in his and
Kalckar's paper of 1937, perhaps because his use of the
model departed so fundamentally from Gamow's. In any
case, Bohr's omission was immediately propagated in the
literature. Bethe, in the second part of his famous
\booktitle{Reviews of Modern Physics} article of April
1937 [co-written with R. F. Bacher], based his
discussion of the liquid-drop model on Bohr and
Kalckar's paper in its prepublication form, and as a
result he ironically and unwittingly cited Bohr and
Kalckar themselves as the originators of that
model.''",
remark-12 = "From page 118: ``Von Weizs{\"a}cker gave full credit
to Gamow in his book \booktitle{Die Atomkerne}
(Weizsacker 1937, pp. 40--44), and Gamow himself
discussed his liquid-drop model again in the second
edition of his book on atomic nuclei (Gamow 1937, pp.
4--8), but \booktitle{Bethe's Bible} was far more
influential than either von Weizs{\"a}cker's or Gamow's
book, and physicists generally followed Bohr's and
Bethe's leads in dropping Gamow's name from the
literature --- an omission that was not corrected in
Bohr and Wheeler's paper of 1939. Subsequently, perhaps
because of Bohr's particularly fruitful application of
the liquid-drop model to the understanding of nuclear
reactions, but no doubt also owing to Bohr's imposing
stature in the profession, physicists came to associate
the origin of that model with Bohr's name, not
Gamow's.''",

Winterberg, who was Heisenberg's student after the war,
writes ``Another point worth mentioning is that it was
Fritz Houtermans, not Leo Szilard, who had first
suggested the possibility of a nuclear chain reaction
with neutrons. This view is also shared by Soviet
scientists who had known Houtermans well, because
Houtermans had emigrated before the war to the Soviet
Union and had been arrested there, but had returned to
Germany around 1940 in a Soviet--German prisoners
exchange and then had worked for the German uranium
project. And it has been forgotten that simultaneously
with Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch, Gottfried von Droste
and Siegfried Fl{\"u}gge of the Kaiser Wilhelm
Institute for Physics in Berlin had reached the same
conclusion regarding the energy released in uranium
fission, with their results being published in the
Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Physikalische Chemie.'' Yet it was
Szilard who applied for, and received, a British patent
on nuclear fission, and is usually credited by most
historians as the first to conceive of a chain
reaction. In retrospective, the notion of an
exponential chain reaction seems likely to have
occurred to at least several physicists.",

writings including reminiscences about his friends and
colleagues, essays detailing his concerns about atomic
energy and the arms race, and book reviews. Peierls and
his fellow refugee Otto Frisch discovered that only a
rather small amount of a pure fissionable isotope would
be required for an explosive chain reaction. Peierls
played an important role in the Manhattan Project in
both England and the United States. His book provides
firsthand descriptions and interpretations of some of
the 20th century's most provocative scientific
personalities, issues and events. It includes pieces on
the famous men Bohr, Oppenheimer, Heisenberg, Frisch,
Dirac, and many others. Other interesting essays
include, ``The Jew in 20th Century Physics'',
``Microwave Cooking for `Foxes''', and ``Reminiscences
of Cambridge in the Thirties''.",

about the atomic bomb not only on the German side but
also among Allied scientists. He finds that the early
history of fission bomb physics had no shortage of
false starts and fumbles in both camps. But, whereas
the Allied physicists' ideas crystallized into a
realistic prospect for a bomb toward the end of 1940.
Heisenberg's basic misconceptions persisted,
influencing the German leaders not to push for atomic
weapons. In fact, Heisenberg never had to face the
moral problem of whether he should design an actual
bomb for the Nazi regime. Rose's exploration of the
German mentality that made it quite reasonable for
``unpolitical'' scientists to support the regime in
power, whatever its form, shows the extent to which
Heisenberg and others could devote themselves to
research they regarded as patriotic.",

microsec, there is no humanly-possible recovery from an

the project, after news arrived of the dropping of two

modern science, both for his research on radiation
throughout the first half of the twentieth century, and
his post-World War II position as president of the Max
Planck Society and leading scientist in West Germany.
However, Hahn and his science have been overshadowed by
the controversy generated by his Nobel Prize, and the
fact that his colleague Lise Meitner did not share it.
This article places Hahn in perspective by embedding
him in the context of his research, administration, and
science policy under National Socialism and beyond. The
result is a scientist and administrator who kept
himself relatively ``morally upright'' during the
National Socialist period, but who did make concessions
to the regime and placed his own work and that of his
institute in the service of military research within
the uranium project. After the war, when Hahn was free
to speak his mind, he failed to confront the reality of
science under National Socialism and instead promoted a
false picture of his own work and of the science at the
Kaiser Wilhelm Society in general as having been basic
research, untainted by National Socialism or the Second
World War.",

remark = "This essay has a nice comparison of six recent books
on the Nobel Prizes, how they are awarded, and why
sometimes deserving, and frequently-nominated,
individuals never receive the Prize. On page 629,
Bartholomew reports: ``Friedman shows that Sweden's
greatest scientist of the early twentieth century
[Svante August Arrhenius (19 February 1859--2 October
1927)] was almost uniquely influential in the selection
of laureates and single-handedly blocked Nobel awards
to Dmitri Mendeleev, Henri Poincar{\'e}, Gilbert Newton
Lewis, and --- very nearly --- Walther Nernst. And he
did so at least in part because each of these
candidates had criticized some aspect of his own work
or, in Poincar{\'e}'s case, had allied himself with the
king-maker's critics in Sweden.'' He then remarks ``But
if a prize were delayed, or never awarded at all, under
the statutes of the Nobel institution there was an
opportunity for Nobel committee members to divert the
interest income from such prizes to their own projects;
and this sometimes proved a major temptation. Apart
from some of the wartime years, when difficult
conditions existed, there were no awards in medicine
for 1921 or 1925; none in chemistry for 1919, 1924, or
1933; and none in physics for 1931 or 1934.''\par
On page 630, Bartholomew comments: ``And as the Swedish
debate over quantum physics indicates, Swedish
scientists had their biases. The very conservative
outlook of the Uppsala University physicists who
dominated the physics committee at the time had a
considerable impact on Einstein's candidacy; the
committee thus based his 1921 award on his discovery of
the law of the photo-electric effect, rather than on
his relativity studies.''\par
On page 630, Bartholomew says of Hargittai's book:
``The issue of women has acquired special salience
because of the exclusion of Lise Meitner [with Otto
Robert Frisch, the first to propose a theory of nuclear
fission] from the 1945 chemistry award and that of
Jocelyn Bell [co-discoverer of radio pulsars] from the
1974 physics award. Many believe that Rosalind Franklin
should have received greater recognition for her
contribution to the successful modeling of DNA, which
received the Nobel Prize in 1962. Whatever else may
explain these outcomes, the absence of women from the
Nobel committees that operated during the first half of
the twentieth century (and perhaps later) could not
have helped the prospect of success for qualified
women.''\par
On page 631, Bartholomew reports a remark from page 191
of Hargittai's book: ``It is noteworthy how often
people find it difficult to have their (eventually)
Nobel Prize winning papers accepted for publication in
the most prestigious journals.''",

physics at the University of Vienna, a pioneer in the
research of radioactive processes and, together with
her nephew Otto Robert Frisch, an interpreter of the
process of nuclear fission in 1938. She was a colleague
and friend of many of the giants of 20th century
physics: Max Planck, her Berlin mentor; Albert
Einstein; Max von Laue; and Niels Bohr, to mention only
a few. Yet at the end of World War II, her colleague of
thirty years, radiochemist Otto Hahn alone was awarded
the 1944 Nobel Prize in chemistry for the ''discovery``
of nuclear fission - a discovery based on years of
research in which Meitner was directly involved before
her secret escape from Nazi Germany.'' ``In this
biography, Patricia Rife interprets both the life and
times of Lise Meitner (1878-1968), providing a rich
background of the scientific discoveries and social
milieu that affected the research, events,
personalities, and politics of 20th century quantum
physics. Rife asks the central question of why, given
the historical evidence of Meitner's role in the
interpretation of nuclear fission, was she too not
awarded the Nobel Prize?",

the early twentieth century, Rudolf Peierls studied
theoretical physics with many of the greatest minds
within the physics community, including Sommerfeld,
Heisenberg, Pauli and Bohr. His Jewish background made
a career in Germany all but impossible, and Rudolf
Peierls and his Russian-born wife, Genia, settled in
the UK, where Peierls took up a professorship in
mathematical physics at Birmingham in 1937. Peierls's
discovery, together with his Birmingham colleague Otto
Frisch, of the theoretical feasibility of an atomic
weapon based on a self-sustaining nuclear chain
reaction was instrumental in the setting up of the UK
government committee studying the possibility of
manufacturing nuclear weapons. Peierls continued to
contribute to the British and later to the
British--American--Canadian effort to produce an atomic
bomb, and he became group leader of the implosion group
at Los Alamos. After the war Peierls returned to the UK
and he built a world-class school of theoretical
physics at Birmingham before moving on to Oxford in
1963. Like many of his colleagues who had contributed
to the development of nuclear weapons, Peierls devoted
much of his time and energy to the control of these
weapons, to nuclear disarmament and to the promotion of
greater understanding between East and West, most
notably through his activities within the framework of
the Pugwash Movement.",

the cross-sections for the two natural uranium
isotopes, U-235 and U-238, as accurately as possible,

Rotblat, Pickavance, Holt, Pryce, Rowlands and Moore.
Frisch was still, theoretically, an enemy alien, and
there are many amusing stories about his breaking the
rules by straying outside the city limits, by venturing
out during the dark, and by riding a bicycle, with or
without headlights, sometimes all on the same occasion.
Frisch proved to be a particularly inventive member of

carrying a ton or so of high explosive, and reduced the
Engineering Building (Harrison Hughes) to rubble.
Chadwick asked John Holt to discreetly take a Geiger

radiations, caused by a nuclear explosion!''",

microdot messages were sent between them smuggled by

1943, with his son Aage, and, during long conversations
with Chadwick in London and in Liverpool, learned for
the first time about the Allied Project and probably
also gave vital information about the German efforts

between himself and Heisenberg so brilliantly portrayed

leaning over it and reflecting some of the neutrons

freshly formed nuclei) might contain enough surplus
energy to each eject a neutron or two; each of these
might cause another fission and generate more neutrons.
By such a `chain reaction' the neutrons would multiply
in uranium like rabbits in a meadow! My immediate
answer was that in that case no uranium ore deposits
could exist; they would have blown up long ago by the
explosive multiplication of neutrons in them. \ldots{}
Many others had the same thought, as I soon found
out.''",

England: `Met Niels and Margrethe recently. Both well
but unhappy about events. Inform Cockcroft and Maud Ray
Kent.' 16 John Cockcroft was a Cambridge physicist whom
Bohr had gotten to know, but who was `Maud Ray Kent'?
The recipients of the message were sure that this name
was a code and that what was concealed had to do with
nuclear energy. However, try as they did, they could
not crack the `code.' It was revealed a few years later
that Maud Ray was a governess that had taken care of
the Bohr children on one of their visits to England and

the development of nuclear weapons: the neutron,
induced radioactivity, the synthesis of new elements

introducing the units of energy used in nuclear
physics, notations used to write nuclear reactions, and
the processes of alpha- and beta-decay.",

remark-01 = "From page 2-1: ``when dynamite is detonated, the
energy released per molecule involved is just under 10
eV.''",
remark-02 = "From page 2-6: ``\ldots{} the key observation was the
realization that alpha-particle bombardment of the
light element beryllium gave rise to a nucleus of
carbon and a neutron: He-4 + Be-9 to C-12 + n-1 +
energy. n-1 denotes a neutron: it carries no electric
charge (Z = 0), but it does count as one nucleon (A =
1). Chadwick reported his discovery in a paper
published in the February 27, 1932 edition of the
British journal Nature; he was awarded the 1935 Nobel
Prize in Physics for this work.''",
remark-03 = "From page 2-6: ``Neutrons would eventually prove to be
the gateway to reactors and bombs, but at the time
Chadwick anticipated none of this: in the February 29,
1932 edition of the New York Times he was quoted as
stating that `I am afraid neutrons will not be of any
use to any one'.''",
remark-04 = "From page 2-7: ``This development [by Joliot and Curie
of bombardment by aluminum with alpha particles] opened
up the important field of synthesizing short-lived
isotopes for use in medical treatments.''",
remark-05 = "From page 2-16: ``On average, the energy liberated in
the fission of uranium nuclei is about 170 MeV, from
which it can be calculated that if one kilogram of
uranium \ldots{} is entirely fissioned, the energy
liberated will be equivalent to exploding some 17,000 t
of TNT: 17 kt of chemical explosive!''",
remark-06 = "From page 2-17: ``An aside: the element between
uranium and thorium, protactinium, is extremely rare;
it would not have been practical for Frisch to try
experimenting with it.''",
remark-07 = "From page 2-18: ``The topic of the 1938 meeting [at
George Washington University] was to be low-temperature
physics, but that agenda quickly found itself derailed.
The conference began in the afternoon of January 26.
Gamow introduced Bohr, who related Hahn and
Strassmann's discovery and Meitner and Frisch's
interpretation. The news electrified the fifty-odd
participants, some of whom left to perform their own
experiments. Within days, the phenomenon had been
duplicated in a number laboratories in Europe and
America, and the New York Times reported on the
discovery in its edition of Sunday, January 29. Today,
a plaque outside Room 209 of GWU's Hall of Government
commemorates Bohr's announcement.''",
remark-08 = "From page 2-19: ``At Columbia, Leo Szilard (who by
1939 was living in New York and had a part-time
appointment at Columbia) and Walter Zinn prepared an
experiment to detect the emission of any fast neutrons
as a consequence of fission and indeed observed them.
Szilard recalled later his reaction upon detecting the
neutrons: `That night, there was very little doubt in
my mind that the world was headed for grief.' The
modern value for the average number of secondary
neutrons liberated by U-235 when it is fissions is
about 2.5, more than enough to sustain a chain
reaction.''",
remark-09 = "From page 2-23: ``It is the differences between the
amounts of energy liberated and the barrier energies
that are crucial. In the case of U-236, the liberated
value exceeds the fission barrier by nearly 0.9 MeV.
Any bombarding neutron, no matter how little energy it
has, can induce fission in U-235.''",
remark-10 = "From page 2-23: ``On top of this, U-238 has an
appreciable capture cross-section for neutrons of
energy less than about 1 MeV (figure 2.9). As a result,
the presence of even small amounts of U-238 in a
fast-neutron environment will consequently suppress any
chain reaction; it is this slowing-and-capture effect
that renders U-238 non-fissile for slow neutrons and
useless as a fast-neutron bomb fuel.''",
remark-11 = "From page 2-24: ``Like U-235, Pu-239 is fissile under
slow-neutron bombardment. \ldots{} Pu-239 acts exactly
like U-235 in its fissility properties.''",
remark-12 = "From page 2-24: ``To create a reaction violent enough
to warrant making a bomb requires using fast neutrons.
In this case, the only naturally occurring isotope that
might be able to sustain a fast-neutron chain reaction
is U-235, but this would require separating the two
isotopes of uranium atom-by-atom to kilogram
quantities. Because of this, Niels Bohr thought that a
weapon based on uranium fission would be impractical or
impossible.''",
remark-13 = "From page 2-26: ``In 1909, Thomson acquired an
assistant, Francis Aston, who significantly improved
the device. Aston would discover over 200 naturally
occurring isotopes, including U-238; he also snared the
1922 Nobel Prize for Chemistry.''",
remark-14 = "From page 2-27: ``To collect a full kilogram of U-235
at the rate at which his [mass spectrometer] apparatus
operated, [Alfred] Neir would have required hundreds of
millions of years, a testament to Bohr's opinion of the
impracticality of a U-235 bomb.''",
remark-15 = "From page 2-29: ``McMillan and Abelson's paper
reporting this [production of Y-239 --- element 94
(plutonium)] was dated May 27, 1940, just two days
before Turner's. Given the potential of Y-239 as a
source of atomic energy, it seems surprising that their
paper was published only two weeks later. James
Chadwick was so upset with the publication that he
placed an official protest through the British
Embassy.",
remark-16 = "From page 2-30: ``Compton was then involved in
preparing a report concerning possible military
applications of fission and included a remark in his
report that if element 94 bred from U-238 was indeed so
fissile, Seaborg and his team had just increased the
amount of potential bomb material by a factor of over
100.''",

abstract = "The growing interdependence of the sciences was one of
the outstanding characteristics of the first half of
the twentieth century. ``Inevitably,'' Dr. Leicester
points out, ``this expanded vision led to closer
contacts among chemists of every speciality, and also
with scientists in other fields. Physics and physical
chemistry were applied to organic compounds, and new
substances that could not have been foreseen by the
older theories were prepared. Reaction mechanisms were
generalized. New borderline sciences sprang up.
Chemical physics and biochemistry became sciences in
their own right. Chemistry thus became a link between
physics and biology.'' A continuation of \booktitle{A
Source Book in Chemistry, 1400--1900} (HUP, 1952), this
volume contains selections from ninety classic papers
in all branches of chemistry -- papers upon which
contemporary research and practices are based. The
topics include such chemical techniques as
microanalysis, polarography, hydrogen ion
concentration, chromatography, electrophoresis, and the
use of the ultramicroscope, the ultracentrifuge, and
radioactive tracers; modern structural theories, with
emphasis on crystal structure, radioactive decay,
isotopes, molecular structure, the applications of
quantum mechanics to chemistry, thermodynamics,
electrolytes, and kinetics; the more recent studies on
artificial radioactivity and the transuranium elements;
organic chemistry, with reference to general synthetic
methods, polymers, the structure of proteins, nucleic
acids, alkaloids, steroids, and carotenoids; and
biochemistry, including the concept of hormones and
vitamins, separation of enzymes and viruses, metabolism
of fats, proteins and carbohydrates, and energy
production. The \booktitle{Source Book} serves as an
introduction to present-day chemistry and can also be
used as supplementary reading in general chemistry
courses, since, in many instances, the papers explain
the circumstances under which a particular discovery
was made--information that is customarily lacking in
textbooks. Although the selections are classified into
the usual branches of the science, it will be apparent
to the reader how the discoveries in any one branch
were taken up and incorporated into others.",

highly individual. Nuclear physics, more than any other
branch of physics, has shaped the public perception of
science this century. Professor Mladjenovic has put
together a fascinating account of the scientists, and
their discoveries, in chronological order. It describes
the work of the founding fathers of nuclear physics,
from Gamow and Dirac, to Van de Graaff and Siegbahn
(amongst others). It is the author's view of the most
important discoveries made, and reflects, in part, the
research he has carried out. Topics include nuclear
spectroscopy, in particular beta-ray spectrometers and
internal conversion. The author starts from the
discovery of the neutron in 1932, to nuclear fission,
and closes with sub-atomic processes. The book is
written for students of modern physics courses, and as
a reference for those interested in the historical
development of the subject. Full references for further

abstract = "An unprecedented explosion of creativity, insight, and
breakthrough occurred in every field of science in the
last century. These discoveries profoundly changed the
way we understand the world and our place in it. Now
[the] physicist and novelist tells the stories of two
dozen of the most seminal discoveries. He paints the
intellectual and emotional landscape of each discovery,
portrays the personalities and human drama of the
scientists involved, and explains the significance and
impact of the work. He explores such questions as
whether there were common patterns of research, whether
the discoveries were accidental or intentional, and
whether the scientists were aware of or oblivious to
the significance of what they had found. Finally, [he]
gives a guided tour through each of the original
papers, which are included in the book.",

abstract = "\booktitle{Unravelling the Mystery of the Atomic
Nucleus} tells the story of how, in the span of barely
sixty years, we made a transition from the belief that
matter was composed of indivisible atoms, to the
discovery that in the heart of each atom lies a nucleus
which is ten thousand times smaller than the atom,
which nonetheless carries almost all its mass, and the
transformations of which involve energies that could
never be reached by chemical reactions. It was not a
smooth transition. The nature of nuclei, their
properties, the physical laws which govern their
behaviour, and the possibility of controlling to some
extent their transformations, were discovered in
discontinuous steps, following paths which occasionally
led to errors which in turn were corrected by further
experimental discoveries. The story begins in 1896 when
radioactivity was unexpectedly discovered and continues
up to the nineteen-sixties. The authors describe the
spectacular progress made by physics during that time,
which not only revealed a new form of matter, namely
nuclei, but also modified our way of thinking by
developing quantum mechanics and the theory of
relativity. The book is written in a clear and non
mathematical language which makes it both accessible
and instructive to laymen, physicists and students, as
well as to historians of science. It delves into
subjects which are of utmost importance for the
understanding of matter in our universe and for
understanding how this knowledge was achieved.",

abstract = "Crystal Clear takes you behind the scenes in the life
of one of the most prominent scientists of the
twentieth century, William Lawrence Bragg (WLB) --- an
innovative genius, who together with his father,
William Henry Bragg (WHB), founded and developed a
whole new branch of science, X-ray Crystallography. The
main body of the text contains the hitherto unpublished
autobiographies of both WLB and his wife, Alice. Alice
Bragg was a public figure in her own right. She was
Mayor of Cambridge and National Chairman of the
Marriage Guidance Council among other roles. She and
WLB were as different as chalk and cheese. Their
autobiographies complement each other to give a rounded
picture of the real personalities behind their public
appearance. They write of their travels, their family
life, their friends and their joys and sorrows. They
write most of all about each other.\par
Their younger daughter, Patience Thomson, provides
anecdotes and vignettes, bringing her parents to life.
She has also included extracts from previously
unpublished letters and from articles which Alice Bragg
wrote for National newspapers. The result is an unusual
insight into the lives of two distinguished people. The
two accounts reveal a fascinating interaction between
these two characters, neither of whom could have
achieved on this scale without the other. There is an
underlying love story here which humanises and
transforms. This is a unique book, adopting an original
viewpoint, which will take the reader far beyond the
scope of a normal biography.",

abstract = "This volume, prepared by an acknowledged expert on the
Manhattan Project, gives a concise, fast-paced account
of all major aspects of the project at a level
accessible to an undergraduate college or advanced
high-school student familiar with some basic concepts
of energy, atomic structure, and isotopes. The text
describes the underlying scientific discoveries that
made nuclear weapons possible, how the project was
organized, the daunting challenges faced and overcome
in obtaining fissile uranium and plutonium, and in
designing workable bombs, the dramatic Trinity test
carried out in the desert of southern New Mexico in
July 1945, and the bombings of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki.",
