Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
Anecdotes about most of the physicists of the early 20th century by one of them. A very good read. It gets a bit technical.

"What little I remember" is the story of the nuclear era seen by O.R. Frisch, a physicist that explained the nuclear fission (with his aunt Lise Meitner, Hahn's collaborator). Frisch was involved in the discoveries of the quantum mechanics. He worked in Cambridge with Rutherford, in Copenhagen with Bohr and in Los Alamos with Oppenheimer. Book full of anecdotes about the men that made great the physics.
Delightful!
