Beschreibung

J. Robert Oppenheimer: Who explores the life of the theoretical physicist who led the Manhattan Project, a program that dramatically altered global power. The book examines the ethical challenges faced by scientists during wartime and the complex political landscape of the Cold War era. It follows Oppenheimer's journey from academia to becoming the leader of the Los Alamos Laboratory, where the atomic bomb was developed. The book highlights how Oppenheimer, despite lacking administrative experience, managed a vast team of scientists and engineers to achieve a seemingly impossible goal.

The narrative delves into Oppenheimer's early life and career, his pivotal role in the Manhattan Project, and the post-war period where he advocated for international control of atomic energy. The book reveals the intricate web of political forces that ultimately led to his downfall.

One intriguing fact is that the Manhattan Project involved immense logistical challenges, requiring the coordination of diverse experts and resources. Another is that Oppenheimer's later advocacy for international control clashed with powerful figures, leading to his security hearing.

Through extensive research and accessible narrative, the book offers a nuanced perspective on the intersection of science, politics, and ethics. It traces Oppenheimer's trajectory across three key sections: his early life and education, his leadership during the Manhattan Project, and his subsequent political struggles. This approach provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of Oppenheimer's life and the lasting impact of his work on military history and the world.

History of England from the...

Thomas Babington Macaulay

This chapter is a bit of a mixture. It begins with the death of Charles II and then goes on to James II. Judge Jeffries then makes an appearance in a riot of slapstick absurdity when viewed from so far away. Although, at the time of the ‘Bloody Assizes’ he will have been much feared and hated by many.There are more to-and fro-ings in the Houses of Parliament. The Scots Covenanters make an appearance and dangerfield and Oates get their come-uppance. Macaulay paints the mid to late 17th century in a mad effervescence of colour.Summary by Jim Mowatt

Ghostwriter

Meredith Carson

The circumstances surrounding the bizarre photograph initially inspiring Meredith Carson to ghostwrite Jack Wagoner’s horrifying account are now included in this audiobook and remain unexplained. When Meredith Carson accepted the task of ghostwriting the frightening narrative you are about to hear, she had no idea how that decision would affect her. Miss Carson shared with other members of the World Codex Staff that, at times, while transcribing Jack Wagoner’s spellbinding story, she felt like Agent Starling from THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. Meredith Carson’s unnerving experience documenting Wagoner’s struggle for survival in the Klamath Mountains and the subsequent events is astonishing.

Peak of the Devil: 100 Questions...

Chip Haynes

What’s that peak oil thing you keep jabbering on about? 
“Peak oil” is the phrase used to describe the point where the world’s oil supply, well, peaks. A fairly easy concept there. It’s the best we can do, and the best we will ever do, when it comes to pumping conventional crude oil out of the ground. After peak oil, it’s all downhill, production-wise. 
Too many people think that peak oil means that the oil is going to run out, and that’s not quite right. The oil will not run out. Not ever. It will, over time, get increasingly rare and probably expensive (before it’s worthless), but there will always be at least a little bit of oil for us to use. Well, for someone to use. Probably not you and me, unless I sell a whole shipload of books. No pressure.
