John Archibald Wheeler's fascinating life brings us face to face with the central characters and discoveries of modern physics. He was the first American to learn of the discovery of nuclear fission, later coined the term "black hole," led a renaissance in gravitation physics, and helped to build Princeton University into a mecca for physicists. From nuclear physics, to quantum theory, to relativity and gravitation, Wheeler's work has set the trajectory of research for half a century. His career has brought him into contact with the most brilliant minds of his field; Fermi, Bethe, Rabi, Teller, Oppenheimer, and Wigner are among those he called colleagues and friends. In this rich autobiography, Wheeler reveals in fascinating detail the excitement of each discovery, the character of each colleague, and the underlying passion for knowledge that drives him still.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 208mmItem Length: 140mmItem Width: 25mmItem Weight: 482gAuthor: John Archibald WheelerContributor: Kenneth Ford (With)Genre: Science Nature & MathTopic: BiographyRelease Year: 2000 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
