History and Science of the Manhattan Project Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2014 [Minkštas viršelis]

It's accessible and easy to read but covers all the interesting aspects of the Manhattan Project starting with the fascinating scientists and other people that were involved in the project . I found this book delightfully inclusive and very detailed and as such a perfect book to read if you're interested in the Manhattan Project in general. (AstroMadness.com, May, 2018)







This new text by Cameron successfully marries the science with the history of the Manhattan Project in 472 pages and 173 illustrations (most of them original). I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning about the history of the Manhattan Project and all the nuclear physics behind the project, which is written in a very approachable and educational way.

Reed (Alma College) provides a well-written scientific, organizational, military, and diplomatic history of the American (and British!) programs leading to the construction and use of the worlds first nuclear weapon. The book, part of Springers Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics series, is well suited for undergraduates and others who have successfully completed a good introductory college physics course. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above; general readers. (A. M. Saperstein, Choice, Vol. 51 (9), May, 2014)







This work, published in the Springer Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics series, is intended as a college-level science text on the Manhattan Project, but serves well as a resource for scientists and non-scientists. Each chapter concludes with problems for students and an extensive bibliography. (ALSOS Digital Library for Nuclear Issues, alsos.wlu.edu, 2014)
