| Commentaire | | I found the biographical accounts of the various stalwarts of Physics inspirational. Most of them, if not all, had to overcome economic hardships or personal tragedies or had to do their ground breaking work in the face of tyranny and war. The biographies also highlighted the high standards of moral convictions that the scientists had as theyrealized the grave implications of some of their work and the potential threat to humanity. This ought to inspire and motivate young men and women aspiring to be Physicists. Even people who have been in the fieldfor a while should find your book re-energizing. It certainly had that effect on me. Dr. Ramkumar Venkataraman, Canberra Industries, Inc., Meriden, CT, USA. |
