Born in colonial New Zealand, Ernest Rutherford grew up on the frontierâ??a different world from Cambridge, to which he won a scholarship at the age of twenty-four. His work revolutionized modern physics. Among his discoveries were the orbital structure of the atom and the concept of the "half-life" of radioactive materials. Rutherford and the young men working under him were the first to split the atom, unlocking tremendous forcesâ??forces, as Rutherford himself predicted, that would bring us the atomic bomb. In Richard Reeves''s hands, Rutherford comes alive, a ruddy, genial man and a pivotal figure in scientific history. | A Force Of Nature by Richard Reeves Paperback | Indigo Chapters Books > Science & Nature > Science P10117, Richard Reeves<
