The Basis of Everything: Rutherford, Oliphant and the Coming of the Atomic Bomb
The Basis of Everything: Rutherford, Oliphant and the Coming of the Atomic Bomb
Andrew Ramsey. HarperCollins, 2019
Hardback with dust jacket, 384 pages. Excellent condition
Before the Manhattan Project, before nuclear warfare and the horrors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, there was the twentieth century's great scientific quest to fathom the secrets of the atom. It was through that search for the inner workings of matter that a unique friendship was forged, a partnership that defied academic orthodoxy and altered the course of history. The Basis of Everything is the story of the coming of the atomic bomb, and how the unlikely union of two scientists - Ernest Rutherford, the son of a New Zealand farmer, and Mark Oliphant, a peace-loving vegetarian from a tiny Australian hills village - would change the world.
