||0 of 1 people found the following review helpful.| Metaphor And The Birth Of Subatomic Physics|By Robert I. Hedges|I have been interested in both literature and science for many years, so this book seemed like a natural for me. My own educational and professional background is more on the scientific side of the house, with chemistry and physics particular areas of interest, despite a degree in biology. From that vantage point| |
"The existence of ‘the bomb’ as a literary device is, Canaday demonstrates, as significant as its military and political reality. A fascinating and literate glimpse at the words, metaphors, texts, and subtexts that have shaped our nuclear age

John Canaday analyzes a variety of texts produced by physicists before, during, and after the Second World War, including Niels Bohr’s "The Quantum Postulate"; the Blegdamsvej Faust, a parody of Goethe’s Faust that cast physicists as its principle characters; The Los Alamos Primer, the technical lectures used for training at Los Alamos; scientists’ descriptions of their work and of the Trinity test; and Leo Szilard’s...
