Download Beyond Uncertainty: Heisenberg, Quantum Physics, and the Bomb AudioBook Free
In 1992, David C. Cassidy's groundbreaking biography of Werner Heisenberg, Uncertainty, was published to resounding acclaim from scholars and critics. Michael Frayn, in the playbill of the Broadway production of Copenhagen, referred to it as one of his main options and "the standard work in British". Richard Rhodes (The Making of the Atom Bomb) called it "the definitive biography of a great and tragic physicist", and the Los Angeles Times praised it as an "important book. Cassidy has sifted the record and brilliantly in depth Heisenberg's activities." No book that has came out since has rivaled Uncertainty, now out of print, for its depth and wealthy detail of the life, times, and science of this brilliant and controversial amount of 20th-century physics. Since the land of the Soviet Union, long-suppressed information has surfaced on Heisenberg's role in the Nazi atomic bomb project. In Beyond Uncertainty, Cassidy interprets this and other recently unknown materials within the context of his huge research and tackles the vexing questions of a scientist's personal responsibility and guilt when portion an abhorrent military regime.
