| Publication | Cambridge, Harvard University Press, 2008. |
| Description | xiv, 412p. |
| Abstract Note | Albert Einstein and J. Robert Oppenheimer, two iconic scientists of the twentieth century, belonged to different generations, with the boundary marked by the advent of quantum mechanics. By exploring how these men differedâin their worldview, in their work, and in their dayâthis book provides powerful insights into the lives of two critical figures and into the scientific culture of their times. In Einsteinâs and Oppenheimerâs philosophical and ethical positions, their views of nuclear weapons, their ethnic and cultural commitments, their opinions on the unification of physics, even the role of Buddhist detachment in their thinking, the book traces the broader issues that have shaped science and the world. |
