Nobel Laureates and Twentieth-Century Physics

Nobel Laureates and Twentieth-Century Physics

Detalles Bibliográficos
Autor Principal: Dardo M. Mauro
Summary:In this richly illustrated book the author combines history with real science. Using an original approach he presents the major achievements of twentieth-century physics - for example, relativity, quantum mechanics, atomic and nuclear physics, the invention of the transistor and the laser, superconductivity, binary pulsars, and the Bose-Einstein condensate - each as they emerged as the product of the genius of those physicists whose labours, since 1901, have been crowned with a Nobel Prize. Here, in the form of a year-by-year chronicle, biographies and revealing personal anecdotes help bring to life the main events of the past hundred years. The work of the most famous physicists of the twentieth century - great names like Bohr, the Curies, Einstein, Fermi, Feynman, Gell-Mann, Heisenberg, Rutherford and Schrodinger - is presented, often in the words and the imagery of the prize winners themselves.
