Review # 1 was written on 2012-12-31 00:00:00 Arie Budhinata The subtitle of this book pretty much sums it up. This is the story of how we discovered radiation, electrons, protons, and finally neutrons. It tells the story of how the first nuclear reactor was built, and how that led to the nuclear bomb. It is a clear and concise book, written with a layman in mind. This book was written in 1972, so I am sure more advancements have been made since then, however, this book is great for providing a history of the science of nuclear energy, and information on the basics of how everything works. I am fascinated by physics, especially by nuclear energy. I found this book educational and insightful, and I enjoyed the manner in which it is written. Asimov was great at taking an advanced concept, and boiling it down so a layman could understand it. He was also good at making what could be a boring subject interesting. I would love to know what he would be writing on if he were still alive today.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-06-30 00:00:00 Francisco Horna An awesome read on the chemistry of the nuclear bomb, told through session after session of history starting from John Dalton with the measuring of atomic weights to none other than Rutherford with atomic fission of alpha particles (yes, I remembered this, I am proud). Book was an audiobook too! :) Link with the emojis, there are three volumes to listen to, roughly 90 minutes each -> [1💫] [2💣] [3💥]
