Based on scores of in-depth interviews with such brilliant scientists as Max Planck, Erwin Schrodinger, Richard Feynman, Murray Gell-Mann, Sheldon Glashow, and Steven Weinberg, Robert Crease and Charles Mann vividly portray the tense, exciting world of investigators at the last frontier of knowledge. In telling the richly human story of the two generations of scientists who set out to find the "theory of everything," the authors recount a sweeping saga that moves from the early days of Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr arguing in a Copenhagen park to the vast, mile-long atom smashers of today. The Second Creation is a definitive group portrait of twentieth-century physics. Robert P. Crease is an associate professor of philosophy at SUNY--Stony Brook. Award-winning science writer Charles C. Mann is a contributing editor of The Atlantic Monthly and Science magazine. His most recent book is Noah's Choice. 1297880 1986 The Second Creation: Makers of the Revolution in Twentieth-Century Physics total:12|5:4|4:4|3:2|2:1|1:1| 12 45 23 2 3 0 false false Sat Aug 22 10:23:15 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 22 10:23:15 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Apr 16 19:24:24 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 16 19:25:12 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Nov 02 09:27:58 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 02 09:27:58 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Tue Sep 01 05:47:02 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 05:47:02 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 24 10:38:19 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 24 10:38:19 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Jul 22 09:47:54 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 22 09:47:54 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 13 22:55:18 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 22:55:18 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 22 23:17:38 -0700 2009 Fri May 22 23:17:40 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Apr 18 09:46:39 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 18 09:46:39 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Mon Apr 13 19:55:13 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 13 19:55:13 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Fri May 22 14:36:26 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 12 11:42:47 -0700 2009 Fri May 22 14:36:26 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Mar 10 19:05:49 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 10 19:05:49 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Feb 17 06:18:02 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 17 06:18:02 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Nov 18 00:32:28 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 18 00:32:28 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Tue Aug 26 15:29:29 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 26 15:29:33 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Aug 21 13:59:35 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 21 13:59:35 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon May 19 12:25:59 -0700 2008 Mon May 19 12:26:05 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Sep 14 00:00:00 -0700 1988 Mon Apr 21 14:24:41 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 21 14:24:41 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Mar 25 16:52:34 -0700 2008 Tue Mar 25 16:52:34 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Tue Feb 05 19:16:43 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 05 19:16:43 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=329259
