When she reaches Los Alamos, New Mexico, she learns why: he's working on a top secret government program. Over the next few years, Dewey gets to know eminent scientists, starts tinkering with her own mechanical projects, becomes friends with a budding artist who is as much of a misfit as she is; and, all the while, has no idea how the Manhattan Project is about to change the world. This book's fresh prose and fascinating subject are like nothing you've read before. 2135456 book 19 10 2006 The Green Glass Sea total:716|5:243|4:297|3:147|2:26|1:3| 716 2899 1049 242 5 3 false false Tue Feb 03 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Dec 13 21:33:05 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 03 23:16:37 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 2 false false Tue Dec 16 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Oct 15 21:57:03 -0700 2007 Tue Dec 16 20:18:39 -0800 2008
