Trade paperback. Zustand: Very good. Second printing [stated]. The format is approximately 6 inches by 9 inches. xiii, [1], 221, [3] pages. A Note on Secrecy. Footnotes. Illustrations. End Notes. Bibliography. Index. Kenneth William Ford (born May 1, 1926) is an American theoretical physicist, teacher, and writer, currently residing near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was the first chair of the physics department at the University of California, Irvine, and later served as president of the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) and as Executive Director and CEO of the American Institute of Physics. In the fall of 1948, Ford began graduate studies in physics at Princeton University. In 1950, he took a leave of absence from graduate work to work on the H-bomb at Los Alamos National Laboratory with his mentor John Wheeler. They worked closely with other lab staff members such as Carson Mark, Conrad Longmire, Edward Teller, and Stanislaw Ulam, and with lab consultants such as John von Neumann, Enrico Fermi, and Hans Bethe. Following the radiation implosion idea offered by Teller and Ulam early in 1951, the focus of the work was on this new design idea. In June 1951, Ford returned to Princeton to continue the H-bomb work there at Wheeler's Project Matterhorn. Much of Ford's work was concerned with doing calculations related to thermonuclear burning, using with Project Matterhorn, the SEAC computer at the National Bureau of Standards. A SEAC calculation provided the final predicted yield of 7 megatons for the Mike test on November 1, 1952. The actual yield was approximately 10 megatons. In this engaging scientific memoir, Kenneth Ford recounts the time when, in his mid-twenties, he was a member of the team that designed and built the first hydrogen bomb. He worked with -- and relaxed with -- scientific giants of that time such as Edward Teller, Enrico Fermi, Stan Ulam, John von Neumann, and John Wheeler, and here offers illuminating insights into the personalities, the strengths, and the quirks of these men. Well known for his ability to explain physics to nonspecialists, Ford also brings to life the physics of fission and fusion and provides a brief history of nuclear science from the discovery of radioactivity in 1896 to the ten-megaton explosion of "Mike" that obliterated a Pacific Island in 1952. Ford worked at both Los Alamos and Princeton's Project Matterhorn, and brings out Matterhorn's major, but previously unheralded contribution to the development of the H bomb. Outside the lab, he drove a battered Chevrolet around New Mexico, a bantam motorcycle across the country, and a British roadster around New Jersey. Part of the charm of Ford's book is the way in which he leavens his well-researched descriptions of the scientific work with brief tales of his life away from weapons. …

fresh hardcover with illustrated printed covers, appears essentially unused. SABINE, LEE, ed. . The Bethe-Peierls correspondence. Hackensack, NJ: World Scientific, 2007, xi, 506pp., . Text in English, with German correspondence also accompanied by English translations - Sabine Lee (U. of Birmingham) presents a collection of correspondence between Hans Berthe and Rudolf Peierls, two accomplished scientists who made important contributions to 20th-century physics. Ranging from 1927 to 1995, the letters began when Berthe and Peierls were students in Munich and continued throughout their distinguished careers into retirement. They throw light not only on the lives of these two remarkable individuals, but also on the historical circumstances in which they lived and worked, and on the academic and political environments in which they operated. The materials are organized chronologically into four phases in Berthe and Peierls academic development and their working and personal relationship. Each of the four sections is prefaced by brief introductory remarks explaining the background to some of the developments mentioned in the correspondence. - CONTENTS: Two Full and Good Lives -- 1.
