"Traces the story of a renegade group of soldiers, scientists, and spies who were sent into Axis territory to spy on and sabotage Germany's nuclear weapons research and prevent Hitler from obtaining a nuclear bomb"--OCLC.

Professor Astro Cat explains everything he knows about physics, offering an illustrated look at gravity, the scientific method, measurement, atoms, motion, forces, energy, electricity, magnetism, sound, and light.

An introduction to nuclear energy and the reactions that create it.

Explores the history of nuclear power.

"When we think of nuclear physics, we often think of nuclear power generation and nuclear weapons. However, nuclear physics has many other applications, including in the fields of nuclear medicine, materials engineering, geology and archaeology. The history of nuclear physics is full of fascinating figures--Rutherford, Geiger, Bohr, Einstein, Oppenheimer--and highly dramatic experiments, triumphs, and utter tragedies. This volume introduces readers to the most transformative science of the modern era by capturing both the promise and the peril of nuclear physics with compelling, comprehensible text, full-color photos and explanatory visual aids" -- Provided by publisher.
