New Re: Ah yes, McPhee
Have you noticed, incidentally, that McPhee can make a book-length tome about damn near anything a ripping good read (although some would rather he'd get off his decades-long geology tear)? I mean, if I learned that his 2003 title was to be "Lint," I'd at least spend some time at Cody's or Moe's perusing it--and might very well take it home.

cordially,

New Well.. Rhodes ain't too shabby in that department, either.
Hmmm Cody's. Migawd ... Berkeley. You might even know what a Bevatron is (was)! Did I miss you among the other 24,999 in that Vietnam march to-deliver-a clue-by-4? (or a newbie to the scene?)

Yes, if you see a copy of Lint - the Real Story - I'll likely spring for it too. There are so few decent writers who also can add and know what an element might be. Turning scientists into writers seems to need a transposition of the Right-brain over to the Left- side.

(Except that's wrong too - Feynman! and then there's M. Crichton: though I rarely consider an 'MD' a scientist, after watching a few try to play one - with real particles.)

New Rhodes not shabby at all
Indeed he ain't. I thought The Making of the Atomic Bomb was dazzling; the follow-up on the H-bomb a bit less so but still impressive. Nearly as good in its way as TMotAB is R.K. Massie's Dreadnought, published in 1991, an account of the Anglo-German naval rivalry from about 1870 to 1914.

cordially,
