This new paperback edition celebrates the centennial of the birth of one of the major theoretical physicists of our time. It is an engrossing account of an exciting period in history and science as well as a good introduction to nuclear physics for the nonscientist.Moving from Bohrs first great contribution a description of what is essentially the modern picture of the atom, in 1913, for which he won the Nobel Prize in 1922 the book covers his creation of one of the most productive research institutes of the modern period. It also describes his less well known political work before and during World War II, when Bohr first helped colleagues escape from Italy and Germany, and then returned to Denmark to participate in the antiNazi movement; and at wars end, when he worked toward a vision of a world free from the dangers of nuclear war.Ruth Moore is a science feature writer for the Chicago Sunday Times.

I enjoyed learning about Niels Bohr and his impact on science, but some sections felt a bit heavy. It took a while to get through the more complex theories. Still, if you have patience, it’s worth the read for understanding his contributions.

Not What I Expected
I was looking forward to an easy read, but this book was more academic than I thought. The language can be quite technical, which made it tough for me at times. It’s probably best for someone with a strong background in physics.
