O knihe
Published to great acclaim and glowing reviews, Aczel's fast-paced history of the race to discover nuclear power follows the day's most brilliant scientists on the eve of war. We watch as Marie Curie slips uranium into her pocket during her groundbreaking, and lethal, experiments on radioactivity, and follow Enrico Fermi on his clandestine flight to America where he is the first to harness the power of a nuclear reaction - on a racquetball court. Aczel expertly guides us from this pivotal moment in history to today, where mounting nuclear weapons programs from Pakistan to Iran are prompting many, including Barack Obama, to fight for a new vision of uranium's future.
