An epic story of science and technology at the very limits of human understanding: the monumental race to build the first atomic weapons.

Rich in personality, action, confrontation, and deception, The First War of Physics is the first fully realized popular account of the race to build humankind's most destructive weapon. The book draws on declassified material, such as MI6's Farm Hall transcripts, coded Soviet messages cracked by American cryptographers in the Venona project, and interpretations by Russian scholars of documents from the Soviet archives.

David J. Helfand reconstructs the history of the universe—back to its first microsecond 13.8 billion years ago—with the help of atoms. He shows how, by using detectors and reactors, microscopes and telescopes, we can decode the tales these infinitesimal particles tell.

Steffen Kopetzkys spannungsvoller Roman über die Jagd nach der Atomtechnik, die Spur eines Phantoms – und einen Mann, der zwischen Schuld, Liebe und Hoffnung steht. London zu Beginn des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Eigentlich will Simon Batley nie wieder mit dem britischen Geheimdienst zu tun haben. Jahre zuvor, als Physikstudent in Berlin, arbeitete er ihm zu, naiv und undercover. Es führte zu einer Katastrophe, die Batley nie verstand, auch seine große Liebe zu seiner Kommilitonin Hedi von Treyden endete jäh. Doch der Krieg ändert alles.

Zero is just one of 20,000 people aboard a spaceship bound for a new planet set to be colonized. The journey is over a century long but luckily, everyone is in stasis, so they’ll be safe and sound asleep during the trip. Everyone that is, except for Zero, whose pod has malfunctioned, waking him up a hundred years early. His initial excitement in roaming the ship alone quickly turns to a heart-stopping interstellar adventure when a family of space pirates show up, trying to hijack the ship and take the colonizers hostage.

Atoms and Ashes recounts the dramatic history of nuclear accidents that have dogged the industry in its military and civil incarnations since the 1950s. Through the stories of six terrifying major incidents—Bikini Atoll, Kyshtym, Windscale, Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima—Cold War expert Serhii Plokhy explores the risks of nuclear power, both for military and peaceful purposes, while offering a vivid account of how individuals and governments make decisions under extraordinary circumstances.

As a female Jewish physicist in Berlin during the early 20th century, Lise Meitner had to fight for an education, a job, and equal treatment in her field, like having her name listed on her own research papers. Meitner made groundbreaking strides in the study of radiation, but when Hitler came to power in Germany, she suddenly had to face not only sexism, but also life-threatening anti-Semitism as well. Nevertheless, she persevered and one day made a discovery that rocked the world: the splitting of the atom.

Gallileo, Copernicus, Newton, Niels Bohr, Einstein. Their insights shook our perception of who we are and where we stand in the world and in their wake have left an uneasy co-existence: science vs. religion, faith vs. empirical enquiry. Which is the keeper of truth? Which is the true path to understanding reality?

What do all the things you can see and touch in the universe have in common? Atoms! Made up of electrons, protons, and neutrons, atoms are so tiny you can’t see them without special microscopes.

Best-selling author Simon Winchester offers an enthralling biography of the Pacific Ocean and its role in the modern world, exploring our relationship with this imposing force of nature. Winchester's personal experience is vast and his storytelling second to none. And his historical understanding of the region is formidable, making Pacific a paean to this magnificent sea of beauty, myth, and imagination that is transforming our lives.

New Thought visionary Charles Fillmore demonstrates how the thoughts on your mind at this very instant possess greater power then other force ever known. Early in the atomic age, Fillmore intuited that the awesome energy unleashed by the splitting of the atom is synonymous with the mental power inherent in the lives of every individual. Using Biblical analysis, personal experiences, mystical insight, and practical reasoning, Fillmore unlocks the master key to existence to show that there is only one great power in the universe, and one great source: the Infinite Mind.

Could Atoms have originated from random events? “Does the Atom have Designer?” is a first-of-its-kind analysis that critically examines if the complexity and functionalities of the Atomic System arose from random or chance events. This book, written by a secular researcher searching for answers, examines subatomic behaviors such as wave-particle duality & quantum superposition, quark-gluon interactions within the atomic nucleus, and electron-photon interactions within atomic orbitals, as well as their role in realizing the many functionalities of the Atom. Aristotle’s four causes are ...

Seven lectures given by Alice Bailey are brought together in this book of seven chapters. The scientific relation of matter and consciousness is discussed as evolution progressively affects the atomic substance of all forms, subjective and objective.

These lectures were delivered in New York in 1921. The purpose was to present the testimony of science as to the relation of matter and of consciousness; to observe the identical manifestation of these relations and of certain basic laws in successively higher states of being, and thus to bring to them a realization of the universality of the evolutionary process and its actuality; and to deal somewhat with the nature of the expanded states of consciousness and the enlarged life toward which all mankind is traveling.

Every one of us contains a billion times more atoms than all the grains of sand in the earth’s deserts. If you weigh 150 pounds, you’ve got enough carbon to make 25 pounds of charcoal, enough salt to fill a saltshaker, enough chlorine to disinfect several backyard swimming pools, and enough iron to forge a 3-inch nail. But how did these elements combine to make us human?

The development of nuclear weapons by humans with 'Trinity' and their gradual evolution within a decade into megaton-class thermonuclear weapons; capable of decimating entire cities in a matter of minutes with a single explosion; has almost taken mankind onto the verge of a potential nuclear apocalypse & doomsday on multiple occasions so far over the course of the Atomic Age, especially through the bone chilling Cold War years. However, almost all global nuclear powers consistently maintain and still swear by the extremely dangerous & absurd doctrines of ‘nuclear deterrence’, ‘mutual-...
