American Prometheus : The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer
《美國普羅米修斯：J·羅伯特·奧本海默的勝利與悲劇》
作者： Kai Bird，Martin J. Sherwin
內容簡介：
In this magisterial, acclaimed biography twenty-five years in the making, Kai Bird and Martin Sherwin capture Oppenheimer’s life and times, from his early career to his central role in the Cold War. This is biography and history at its finest, riveting and deeply informative.
Robert Oppenheimer: A Life Inside the Center《深入核心：奧本海默傳》
作者：Ray Monk，Michael Goldstrom等
內容簡介：
Robert Oppenheimer was among the most brilliant and divisive of men. As head of the Los Alamos Laboratory, he oversaw the successful effort to beat the Nazis in the race to develop the first atomic bomb – a breakthrough that was to have eternal ramifications for mankind and that made Oppenheimer the “Father of the Atomic Bomb.” But with his actions leading up to that great achievement, he also set himself on a dangerous collision course with Senator Joseph McCarthy and his witch-hunters. In Robert Oppenheimer: A Life Inside the Center, Ray Monk, author of peerless biographies of Ludwig Wittgenstein and Bertrand Russell, goes deeper than any previous biographer in the quest to solve the enigma of Oppenheimer’s motivations and his complex personality.
The Making of the Atomic Bomb《原子彈秘史》
作者： Richard Rhodes
內容簡介：
This sweeping account begins in the 19th century, with the discovery of nuclear fission, and continues to World War Two and the Americans’ race to beat Hitler’s Nazis. That competition launched the Manhattan Project and the nearly overnight construction of a vast military-industrial complex that culminated in the fateful dropping of the first bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Reading like a character-driven suspense novel, the book introduces the players in this saga of physics, politics, and human psychology—from FDR and Einstein to the visionary scientists who pioneered quantum theory and the application of thermonuclear fission, including Planck, Szilard, Bohr, Oppenheimer, Fermi, Teller, Meitner, von Neumann, and Lawrence.
Dark Sun: The Making of Hydrogen Bomb《黑暗的太陽：氫彈的製造》
作者： Richard Rhodes
內容簡介：
Based on secret files in the United States and the former Soviet Union, this monumental work of history discloses how and why the United States decided to create the bomb that would dominate world politics for more than forty years.
Robert Oppenheimer: A life《奧本海默的一生》
作者：Abraham Pais
內容簡介：
The late Abraham Pais, author of the award winning biography of Albert Einstein, Subtle is the Lord, here offers an illuminating portrait of another of his eminent colleagues, J. Robert Oppenheimer, one of the most charismatic and enigmatic figures of modern physics.
Pais introduces us to a precocious youth who sped through Harvard in three years, made signal contributions to quantum mechanics while in his twenties, and was instrumental in the growth of American physics in the decade before the Second World War, almost single-handedly bringing it to a state of prominence. He paints a revealing portrait of Oppenheimer’s life in Los Alamos, where in twenty remarkable, feverish months, and under his inspired guidance, the first atomic bomb was designed and built, a success that made Oppenheimer America’s most famous scientist.
Now it can be told《現在可以說了：曼哈頓計畫的故事》
作者： General Leslie R. Groves
內容簡介：
General Leslie Groves and J. Robert Oppenheimer were the two men chiefly responsible for the building of the first atomic bomb at Los Alamos, code name “The Manhattan Project.” As the ranking military officer in charge of marshalling men and material for what was to be the most ambitious, expensive engineering feat in history, it was General Groves who hired Oppenheimer (with knowledge of his left-wing past), planned facilities that would extract the necessary enriched uranium, and saw to it that nothing interfered with the accelerated research and swift assembly of the weapon.This is his story of the political, logistical, and personal problems of this enormous undertaking which involved foreign governments, sensitive issues of press censorship, the construction of huge plants at Hanford and Oak Ridge, and a race to build the bomb before the Nazis got wind of it. The role of groves in the Manhattan Project has always been controversial. In his new introduction the noted physicist Edward Teller, who was there at Los Alamos, candidly assesses the general’s contributions-and Oppenheimer’s-while reflecting on the awesome legacy of their work.
The Manhattan Project《曼哈頓計畫》
作者： Ryan Gale
內容簡介：
The US Army hired more than 125,000 people to help develop the atomic bombs. They worked and lived in remote areas, and they couldn’t tell anyone about their work. This secretive program was known as the Manhattan Project. The Manhattan Project explores the workers’ experiences and the development of the atomic bombs. Easy-to-read text, vivid images, and helpful back matter give readers a clear look at this subject. Features include a table of contents, infographics, a glossary, additional resources, and an index. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards.
Oppenheimer And The Manhattan Project: Insights Into J Robert Oppenheimer, “Father Of The Atomic Bomb”
《奧本海默和曼哈頓計畫：深入瞭解「原子彈之父」羅伯特·奧本海默》
作者：Cynthia C Kelly
內容簡介：
2004 marked the centennial of the birth of J Robert Oppenheimer, and brought historians and scholars, former students, nuclear physicists, and politicians together to celebrate this event. Oppenheimer’s life and work became central to 20th century history as he spearheaded the development of the atomic bomb that ended World War II. This book provides a spectrum of interpretations of Oppenheimer’s life and scientific achievements. It approaches the extraordinary scientist and teacher from many perspectives, chronicling the years from his boyhood through his role as director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory and afterwards. The book also discusses Oppenheimer’s connection to New Mexico, which hosted two of the Manhattan Project’s most crucial sites, and addresses his lasting impact on contemporary science, international politics, and the postwar age.
Oppenheimer : The Tragic Intellect《奧本海默：悲劇性的智慧》
作者： Charles Thorpe
內容簡介：
At a time when the Manhattan Project was synonymous with large-scale science, physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904–67) represented the new sociocultural power of the American intellectual. Catapulted to fame as director of the Los Alamos atomic weapons laboratory, Oppenheimer occupied a key position in the compact between science and the state that developed out of World War II. By tracing the making—and unmaking—of Oppenheimer’s wartime and postwar scientific identity, Charles Thorpe illustrates the struggles over the role of the scientist in relation to nuclear weapons, the state, and culture.
In the Shadow of the Bomb : Oppenheimer, Bethe, and the Moral Responsibility of the Scientist
《在原子彈的陰影下：奧本海默、貝特和科學家的道德責任》
作者： S. S. Schweber
內容簡介：
In 1945, the United States dropped the bomb, and physicists were forced to contemplate disquieting questions about their roles and responsibilities. When the Cold War followed, they were confronted with political demands for their loyalty and McCarthyism’s threats to academic freedom. By examining how J. Robert Oppenheimer and Hans A. Bethe—two men with similar backgrounds but divergent aspirations and characters—struggled with these moral dilemmas, one of our foremost historians of physics tells the story of modern physics, the development of atomic weapons, and the Cold War.
