  • A Little Bit of History
  • This is an easy to understand, informative book about Los Alamos and the making of the atomic bomb. It would have been better if the book covered more of the aftermaths of the dropping of the bomb....

  • Hardly about Robert Oppenhimer
  • The title of this book is very misleading. It is minimally about Los Alamos and even more minimally about Robert Oppenheimer.

  Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea

  • From:Amazon

  • Zero
  • A totally fascinating book. Debunks Aristotle and the West's rejection of the concept of the void and infinity. I already have someone who wants to borrow it.

  • Starts Great, Doesn't Finish Well
  • In Zero: the Biography of a Dangerous Idea, Seife first gives the history of the zero, in mathematics and social history, as well as it's non-history (why it was rejected in some cultures). He...
