{"product_id":"atoms-in-the-family-laura-fermi-9780226243672","title":"Atoms in the Family: My Life with Enrico Fermi","description":"In this absorbing account of life with the great atomic scientist Enrico Fermi, Laura Fermi tells the story of their emigration to the United States in the 1930s-part of the widespread movement of scientists from Europe to the New World that was so important to the development of the first atomic bomb. Combining intellectual biography and social history, Laura Fermi traces her husband's career from his childhood, when he taught himself physics, through his rise in the Italian university system concurrent with the rise of fascism, to his receipt of the Nobel Prize, which offered a perfect opportunity to flee the country without arousing official suspicion, and his odyssey to the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Fermi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226243672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226243672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.82h x 6.18w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/1995 pg. 98","brand":"Laura Fermi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946337632511,"sku":"9780226243672","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ff84fa9b-8e9e-4df5-8da5-f2b82bab2b0d.jpg?v=1681512588","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/atoms-in-the-family-laura-fermi-9780226243672","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
