| Wow, time flies. I scanned this book more than 12 years ago. Here's my original announcement on the Sciencemadness forum: https://www.sciencemadness.org/whisper/viewthread.php?tid=24... I'm glad that it was so inspirational for you! If this is the only thing you've ever seen from sciencemadness, you should also check out the other books in the library: http://library.sciencemadness.org/library/index.html It's kind of a grab-bag of old scanned texts that I compiled from random third party sources in the earlier days of the web plus those that I scanned personally. Also see the Los Alamos Technical Reports collection if you might be interested in oddball chemistry, physics, and material science publications from America's premiere nuclear weapons laboratory: http://www.sciencemadness.org/lanldocs.html Like "Chemistry of Uranium and Plutonium" -- containing both theoretical and practical documentation for the handling, processing, and analysis of plutonium in the laboratory: http://library.sciencemadness.org/lanl1_a/lib-www/la-pubs/00... Or "Foundations of Radiation Hydrodynamics" if your role in a nuclear weapons complex is downstream from that of the chemists and metallurgists: http://library.sciencemadness.org/lanl1_a/lib-www/books/0041... |
People do translations of the book and it's usually highly appreciated by those who doesn't read English. Excellent book. The introduction by Asimov is also awesome.
