Robert Oppenheimer-Jeremy Bernstein's account of his scien-tific beginnings will beguile anyone interested in how people become what they are. Bernstein was not "born" a sci-entist; he turned into one, very much to his own surprise. Ham radios, swim-ming, a treasured friendship with the Ellington band-such were Bernstein's youthful passions. But once at Harvard, he decided to teach himself the theory of relativity. It was the first heady step into a whole new world, a step that ultimately led him to the heart of twentieth-century physics: to a stint at the Institute for Advanced Study under Oppenheimer's electrifying influence; to summers work-ing with Freeman Dyson on the Orion spaceship project; to a year in Paris with the brilliant Murray Gell-Mann. Written with brevity, humor, and infectious charm, The Life It Brings evokes the sheer excitement of doing science along-side some of the most eminent physicists of our time. -- Since receiving his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1955, Jeremy Bernstein has lectured and taught at universities here and abroad on the theory of elementary particles and cosmology. In 1961 he joined The New Yorker as a staff writer, a position he still holds. He is the author of numerous physics papers and of twelve books, among them the classic study of the computer, The Ana-lytical Engine, and the story of Bell Labs, Three Degrees Above Zero. He also writes a biannual column for The Ameri-can Scholar, "Out of My Mind." The awards he has received for his writing include a Westinghouse-AAAS Science Writing Prize, a Brandeis Creative Arts Medal, and a National Book Award nomi-nation for his biography Einstein. Mr. Bernstein is a professor at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hobo-ken, New Jersey, and an adjunct professor at the Rockefeller University. He lives in New York City.

Hard Cover in Dust Jacket. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Edition, First Printing. A tight, sound copy with a bit of a spine slant and showing a little wear. A TRUE FIRST EDITION, with a "1" on the copyright page, as required; original price intact on dust jacket. Any doubts that Chute could not follow her remarkable debut novel The Beans of Egypt, Maine with another winner will be vanquished by this assured, complex and memorable tale, told in bold, forceful prose. We are back in Egypt and in the adjacent, ironically named Miracle City, a squalid jumble of unpainted shacks and trailers that is nonetheless a welcome haven to the residents of this poverty-stricken community. The area's most important citizen is the eponymous Big Lucien Letourneau, who runs the auto salvage junkyard at which most of the men work. It's a brutal life, and in bad times Lucien can't afford to pay his men. But if he sometimes lacks money, Big Lucien never lacks compassion. He is a one-man welfare system, sheltering the destitute, homeless and elderly; some of his ex-wives and many of his children, in and out of wedlock; and a churning population of cats. For a long time we see Big Lucien only obliquely and he assumes almost mythic dimensions before we finally meet him, late in the novel, when Chute's bleakly comic message about the enobling power of compassion becomes clear. Meanwhile we become involved with the other, beautifully developed characters., The recipients of Big Lucien's "heart of gold" are desperately poor, ignorant, unwashed and unkempt, sexually promiscuous, violent when drunk yet Chute gives them humanity and dignity. Her compassion for people condemned to dead-end lives infuses this powerful novel with universal meaning.
