...[a] superb biography.
Segrè and Hoerlin have combined sophisticated understanding of Fermi’s scientific achievements with intimate, often charming stories of the famed physicist’s personal life, to create a book that’s both intelligent and extremely engaging..
Perhaps understandably, the authors are most assured and informative when writing about Fermi’s contributions to science.
Combining family lore with intensive research, Segrè and Hoerlin offer unique insights into Fermi's life and work, set against the background of politics and the early years of the Atomic Age..
