They provide the definitive and highly entertaining story of the development of modern physics, and the human story of the physicists who set out to find the 'theory of everything.'The Second Creation tells the story of some of the most talented and idiosyncratic people in the worldmany times in their own words. Crease and Mann conducted hundreds of interviews to capture the thinking and the personalities as well as the science. The authors make this complex subject matter clear and absorbing.
