latest read

I just finished this book. It was a really interesting read about this famous equation, but also about the history of the people who were involved in the physics reasearch that went into formulating this prior to it's inception and the folks responsible for utilizing (or almost unitilizing it) in atomic weapons and atomic energy research. I especially enjoyed the commando raids on the German heavy water plant. Lots of great tidbits in here, although there were a few moments when the gossipy parts of the book overwhelmed the science. Good read.
