While thousands of articles and books have been published on various aspects of the Project, this is the first comprehensive single-volume history prepared by a specialist for curious readers without a scientific background. The author presents a wide-ranging survey that not only tells the story of how the project was organized and carried out, but also introduces the leading personalities involved and gives qualitative but accurate descriptions of the underlying science and the engineering challenges. The technical points are illustrated by reader-friendly graphics. .PhysicsAstronomyPhysicsPhilosophyNuclear physicsNuclear chemistryPhysics and AstronomyPhilosophical Foundations of Physics and AstronomyNuclear PhysicsNuclear ChemistryPhysics.Astronomy.PhysicsPhilosophy.Nuclear physics.Nuclear chemistry.Physics and Astronomy.Philosophical Foundations of Physics and Astronomy.Nuclear Physics.Nuclear Chemistry.623.45119Reed Bruce Cameronauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut947691MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910409992803321Manhattan Project2141301UNINA
