He explains the astonishing experiments and achievements of such innovators as Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Erwin Schrödinger, Hans Bethe, and Richard Feynman. The extraordinary illustrations focus mainly on the remarkable images -- from the atomic to the cosmic scale -- made possible by the instruments of advanced physics. Also included are photographs of experimental equipment and pioneering inventions. As New/Fine.
