DJ somewhat scuffed and soiled: small tears, piece missing at spine. A personal history of the atomic scientists, including Born, Heisenberg, and Meitner in Germany; Kapitza in Russia; the Joliot-Curies in France; Bohr in Denmark; Fermi in Italy; and Albert Einstein and Oppenheimer in America. Robert Jungk (born Robert Baum May 11, 1913 - July 14, 1994) was an Austrian writer and journalist who wrote mostly on issues relating to nuclear weapons. Jungk was born into a Jewish family in Berlin. His father was David Baum (pseudonym: Max Jungk, 1872, Miskovice - 1937, Prague). When Adolf Hitler came to power, Jungk was arrested and released, moved to Paris, then back to Nazi Germany to work in a subversive press service. He is also known as the inventor of the future workshop, which is a method for social innovation, participation by the concerned, and visionary future planning. In chapter six of his book The Big Machine, Jungk described CERN as the place to find the "first Planetarians, earth dwellers who no longer feel loyalty to a single nation, a single continent, but to common knowledge that they advance together." There is an international library in Salzburg called Robert-Jungk-Bibliothek für Zukunftsfragen. His book Brighter than a Thousand Suns: A Personal History of the Atomic Scientists was the first published account of the Manhattan Project and the German atomic bomb project. In 1986, he received the Right Livelihood Award for "struggling indefatigably on behalf of peace. Derived from a Kirkus review: This is an extremely able, engrossing account of the development of nuclear physics and the men who were most significant in the exploitation of the new discoveries. Beginning after 1918 when the three main European centers for research were in Copenhagen with Niels Bohr, in Cambridge with Rutherford and in Gottingen with Born, Franck and Hilbert, this reviews scientific advances and political setbacks up to the Teller-Oppenheimer controversy, investigating the spiritual and intellectual problems raised by modern physics and the climate within which the fraternity of scientists debated and finally agreed to reveal the consequence of nuclear fission. A book of eminent importance. First American Edition. Presumed first printing.
