ISBN: 9788367859073 / Polski / twarda / 896 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. Stworzenie bomby atomowej na zawsze zmieniło bieg historii.

Stosując najlepsze zasady suspensu, Rhodes stopniowo wprowadza wielkich graczy: od Roosevelta i Einsteina po wizjonerskich pionierów teorii kwantowej i zastosowania rozszczepienia termojądrowego, w tym Plancka, Szilarda, Bohra, Oppenheimera, Fermiego, Tellera, Meitnera, von Neumanna i Lawrence’a....

ISBN: 9780804756419 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In 1846 several hundred wagons set out from Independence, Missouri, to follow the California Trail nearly 2,000 miles across unpopulated prairies, up sluggish and seemingly endless rivers, and through the Rocky Mountains over the Continental Divide. There, where the water flowed west to the far Pacific, the more prudent emigrants swung north through present-day Idaho, though that was the longer way west. One group, the Donner Party, braver or more foolhardy than the rest, chose an untried route that would shorten the distance. It did. It also subjected them to obstacles so formidable that it...
