Bibliography. Index. slight wear to DJ. Known as father of the American H-Bomb, Teller continues to play a crucial role in U.S. nuclear weapons policy. Born a Hungarian Jew in 1908, the young physicist studied with such greats as Werner Heisenberg and Niels Bohr. Fleeing Nazism, he became a member of the Manhattan Project team which developed the world's first atomic bomb. Stanley A. Blumberg was a Baltimore author, inventor and Middle Eastern expert who collaborated on two books about nuclear physicist Edward Teller. It was on a visit to Israel that Mr. Blumberg noticed Dr. Teller standing outside of a Tel Aviv hotel, introduced himself to the man often called the father of the hydrogen bomb, and asked why no one had written his biography. Dr. Teller said he was far too controversial, that no one would ever publish a book about his life and then challenged Mr. Blumberg to do the project. The result was "Energy and Conflict," co-authored with Gwinn fTC Owens, a former Evening Sun op-ed page editor. It was published in 1976, and became a Book-of-the Month Club alternate selection. In 1990, he turned out a second biography, "Edward Teller," with co-author Louis G. Panos, a former Evening Sun editorial page editor. "He took on an unpopular subject in an unpopular atmosphere because he felt it was worth doing. His work gave credence to a cloudy subject," Mr. Panos said. Lou Panos covered 40 sessions of the Maryland General Assembly during his 60 years as a working journalist. Panos started his career in high school as a teletype attendant for the Associated Press. He spent 20 years at AP, mostly in Baltimore, but he also covered federal agencies in Washington including the White House and the Justice Department when Bobby Kennedy was attorney general. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Teller continues to play a crucial role in U.S. nuclear weapons policy. Born a Hungarian Jew in 1908, the young physicist studied with such greats as Werner Heisenberg and Niels Bohr. Fleeing Nazism, he became a member of the Manhattan Project team which developed the world's first atomic bomb. Despite opposition from Robert Oppenheimer, the Manhattan Project's top scientist, Teller persuaded President Truman to develop the hydrogen bomb; history backs up his position on the H-bomb, note the authors, as we now know that the Soviets exploded a thermonuclear device before the U.S. did. Instrumental in founding California's Lawrence Livermore Research Laboratory, Teller was at the time this was published the leading scientific proponent of building strategic defenses against Soviet nuclear attack. Blumberg and Panos, a Baltimore Sun columnist, have done a thorough job of reconstructing the life of this complex man.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st ed., 4th printing ; xiv, 194 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 24 cm. ISBN 9781930897083 1930897081 LCCN 2002510026 ; LC SB61 .C67 2001 Dewey 635.0922 ; off-white textured boards in pictorial dustjacket ; SIGNED by both authors on the title page ; "One spring morning a lady walking through a garden in the Midwest was fascinated by a row of handsome, vigorous hollies. They were just what she needed for her own garden, and she asked her host what they were. "Those are Nellie Stevens hollies," was the reply. She looked again and couldn't help but wonder about the name. Who in the world is Nellie Stevens, and how did her name ever become associated with this plant? She noted other intriguing names, and she asked similar questions. She saw a beautifulblue clematis and wondered if Betty Corning was still alive and what stories she had to tell.She wondered about the places and people whose names are associated with so many popular garden plants. She is not alone. If necessity is the mother of invention, curiosity is the mother of research. In many cases, we wonder not what our gardens grow, but who our gardens grow. Until now, these accounts have not been compiled and unfortunately, many of the people are disappearing, their stories with them. Now gardeners can enjoy the beauty of their plants and delight in the tales they tell." ; Contents: Anna, Illinois -- Arnold Arboretum -- Janes Bath -- Lole Benedict -- ray Bracken -- Luther Burbank -- Molly Bush -- Cedar lane Farm -- John Champneys, Phillippe Noisette -- Corbett, maryland -- Betty Corning -- John Creech -- Roy Davidson -- Vince and Barbara Dooley -- Eco-Gardens -- Katie Ferguson -- Henry and Sally Fuller -- Fred Galle -- Gardenview Horticultural park -- Azilda Gerbing -- Goodness Grows -- Kim Hawks -- mary Gibson Henry -- Poly Hill -- Andre Iseli -- Tina James -- Joseph Kassab -- Hella Lacy -- Michael Lindsey -- Carol Mackie -- Frank N Meyer -- Montrose Nursery -- David Mooberry -- Mt.
