The 137 items in this Grolier Club publication include landmark books, autograph manuscripts, inscribed offprints, and signed letters exchanged among collaborators and rivals, with foundational works reaching back to the first printed edition of Euclid in 1482. Together, they follow the path from X-rays, radioactivity, and relativity to quantum mechanics, nuclear energy, and computing, showing how a few strange equations unlocked the technologies that shape modern life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword by Neil deGrasse Tyson.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEssays by Ivan Amato, Ryan Dahn, Peter Galison, Michael D.
