The young scientists at Los Alamos who developed the bombs, which were nicknamed Little Boy and Fat Man, were introduced to the basic principles and goals of the project in March 1943, at a crash course in new weapons technology. The lecturer was physicist Robert Serber, J. Robert Oppenheimers protégé, and the scientists learned that their job was to design and build the worlds first atomic bombs. Notes on Serbers lectures were gathered into a mimeographed document titled <em>TheLos Alamos Primer,</em> which was supplied to all incoming scientific staff. The <em>Primer</em> remained classified for decades after the war.</p><p>Published for the first time in 1992, the <em>Primer</em> offers contemporary readers a better understanding of the origins of nuclear weapons. Serbers preface vividly conveys the mingled excitement, uncertainty, and intensity felt by the Manhattan Project scientists. This edition includes an updated introduction by Pulitzer Prizewinning historian Richard Rhodes.</p><p>A seminal publication on a turning point in human history, <em>The Los Alamos Primer</em> reveals just how much was known and how terrifyingly much was unknown midway through the Manhattan Project. No other seminar anywhere has had greater historical consequences.</p>...2496483The Los Alamos Primer350368https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-los-alamos-primer-9780520374331/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3432816/bf80a84d-3868-4421-a75b-00e78ef1cb43.jpg?v=638853348057430000InStockMXN99999DIEbook2020Inglés
