Story
Dr. Catherine Kleier invites us to open our eyes to the phenomenal world of plant life and to the process she calls “Natura Revelata”, the joy of celebrating and learning from the secrets of nature. As Dr. Kleier shares her knowledge with contagious excitement for her subject, she emphasizes the middle ground: Instead of focusing on cell microbiology or the study of ecosystems and habitats, she stresses the basic biology, function, and the amazing adaptations of the plants we see all around us.

In The Quantum Universe, Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw approach the world of quantum mechanics in the same way they did in Why Does E=mc2? and make fundamental scientific principles accessible - and fascinating - to everyone.The subatomic realm has a reputation for weirdness, spawning any number of profound misunderstandings, journeys into Eastern mysticism, and woolly pronouncements on the interconnectedness of all things. Cox and Forshaw's contention? There is no need for quantum mechanics to be viewed this way.

Every Classroom
I always heard Oppenheimers name but this is the first time I have listened to a book about him and his impact on world history. His life and story was incredible and of course humanized him. He was passionate about his work, created and participated in powerful, intellectual conversations. What a listen. Recommend 100%.

Phenomenal
I had a fellow physics lover suggest this book and I'm glad he did! Such a cool biography. As the title states, Oppenheimer is the father of the atomic bomb but this book offers a nuanced portrayal of a man whose brilliance shaped history. Beyond the scientific achievements, the book dives into the complex ethical considerations that shadowed Oppenheimer's career, adding a layer of depth to the narrative. For those fascinated by the intersection of science, ethics, and history, this biography serves as a comprehensive and thought-provoking account of one of the 20th century's most influential figures.

Know More About Oppenheimer
Amazing book! Jump into the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the brainiac behind the atomic bomb. This book goes through his childhood in New York to his big role in World War II's Manhattan Project. The book also digs into Oppenheimer's after-war years and his smarty-pants contributions to nuclear physics.
I also like it where the book talks about Oppenheimer wrestling with big questions about right and wrong after making the bomb. The book isn't boring as it brings in stories from people who knew him and how he's shown in movies and stuff.
If you want to peek into the brain of a genius torn between knowledge and doing the right thing, then this is the book for you. Highly recommended!

Fascinating and engaging!
This book is a fascinating read about the “Father of the Atomic Bomb”, J Robert Oppenheimer. J
R MacGregor’s book reveals not only the story behind the development of the atomic bomb and
Oppenheimer’s role in that effort, but the interesting, complex and profound life of the man
himself. We learn how Oppenheimer fit into the evolution of science with legendary fellow
scientists of the time - shaping a new look at the universe that deviated from the understanding
that classical, Newtonian laws of physics had defined and that had worked so well, without
debate, for centuries. Being an engineer myself, by training and career, the parts of the book
that drew me in, were not just the discussions about the evolution of science and physics, but
the genius, heart and sole of the man who was J Robert Oppenheimer. It was so interesting to
find out about the complex mind that helped reshaped our scientific vision of the magical
universe all around us through quantum physics and theoretical science. But, it was equally
intriguing to learn of the heart and soul of this brilliant scientist and how he struggled with ethical
issues associated with scientific discovery as it unleashed awareness of the immense and
potentially deadly power of atomic energy. Highly recommended!
