    <![CDATA[The classified lectures that galvanized the Manhattan Project   scientistswith annotations for the nonspecialist reader and an introduction by   a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian.  In March 1943 a group of young scientists, sequestered on a mesa near Santa Fe,   attended a crash course in the new atomic physics. The lecturer was Robert   Serber, J. Robert Oppenheimer's protg, and they learned that their job was to   invent the world's first atomic bomb.  Serber's lecture notes, nicknamed the &quot;Los Alamos Primer,&quot; were mimeographed and   passed from hand to hand, remaining classified for many years. They are   published here for the first time, and now contemporary readers can see just how   much was known and how terrifyingly much was unknown when the Manhattan Project   began. Could this &quot;gadget,&quot; based on the newly discovered principles of nuclear   fission, really be designed and built? Could it be small enough and light enough   for an airplane to carry? If it could be built, could it be controlled?  Working with Richard Rhodes, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian of the development   of the atomic  bomb, Professor Serber has  annotated original lecture notes with   explanations of the physics terms for the nonspecialist. His preface, an   informal memoir, vividly conveys the mingled excitement, uncertainty, and   intensity felt by the Manhattan Project scientists. Rhodes's introduction   provides a brief history of the development of atomic physics up to the day that   Serber stood before his blackboard at Los Alamos. In this edition, The Los   Alamos Primer finally emerges from the archives to give a new understanding of   the very beginning of nuclear weapons. No seminar anywhere has had greater   historical consequences.]]>
