David Politzer, Robert Grubbs, George Wells Beadle. Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Linus Carl Pauling, né le 28 février 1901 et mort le 19 août 1994, était un chimiste et physicien américain. Il fut l'un des premiers chimistes quantiques, et reçut le prix Nobel de chimie en 1954 pour ses travaux décrivant la nature de la liaison chimique. Il publie en 1939 un ouvrage majeur La Nature de la liaison chimique (The Nature of the Chemical Bond) dans lequel il développe le concept d'hybridation des orbitales atomiques. Ses travaux sur les substituts de plasma sanguin (avec Harvey Itano) durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, ainsi que ses recherches concernant l'anémie falciforme (ou drépanocytose qu'il qualifie du terme révolutionnaire de « maladie moléculaire ») ont grandement influencé la recherche en biologie pour la seconde moitié du siècle. Il découvrira notamment la structure de l'hélice alpha (motif d'enroulement secondaire des protéines) et manquera de peu la découverte de la structure en double hélice de l'acide désoxyribonucléique (ADN). Il proposera en effet une structure en hélice triple, structure dont l'amélioration d'après l'étude de l'ADN par radiocristallographie aurait vraisemblablement pu l'amener à l'élaboration du modèle en double hélice proposé par James Dewey Watson et Francis Crick en 1953. Il est l'un des fondateurs de la médecine orthomoléculaire et a popularisé l'utilisation de la vitamine C. Il reçut aussi le prix Nobel de la paix en 1962, pour sa campagne contre les essais nucléaires, devenant ainsi l'une des deux seules personnes à avoir reçu...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Who knew physicists had entertaining lives?
I'm a bit biased because my grandfather was Carl Anderson's first cousin and never knew about him.I was pleased to find this book and learn more about one of my more famous relatives.

For what would be called a geek today, Carl Anderson's life was quite interesting.The discussion of physics is minimal so the title shouldn't scare the casual reader away.But this is a simple autobiography of a man who just happened to be a great scientist.He faced all the basic problems we all face.For example, what do you do when you get the telegram that you've won the Nobel Prize but you don't have enough cash to get to Stockholm to pick it up?

It's a fast and enjoyable read.I'm sure my 85 year old mother will enjoy it as much as I did.Then it's into the hands of my high school junior son who wants to be a physicist.It's a good peek into what a physicist actually does.

Interesting Reading!
I am the daughter-in-law of Carl Anderson.Per my request, Carl wrote his memoirs for our children.He wrote it in a way that everyone of all ages will be able to understand the meaning of physics.It is a personal story of his life from childhood to his discovery and beyond.The book is inspiring to young and old alike.It is a story of determination and perservance in a era when young scientists had to develop and create experiments using very primitive means.This book allows the reader to better understand the world and mind of a famous scientist. ...

Online finden Sie die kostenlose Aktualisierung der Bücher. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Richard Phillips Feynman (* 11. Mai 1918 in Queens, New York; † 15. Februar 1988 in Los Angeles) war ein US-amerikanischer Physiker und Nobelpreisträger des Jahres 1965. Feynman gilt als einer der großen Physiker des 20. Jahrhunderts, der wesentliche Beiträge zum Verständnis der Quantenfeldtheorien geliefert hat. Zusammen mit Shinichirō Tomonaga und Julian Schwinger erhielt er 1965 den Nobelpreis für seine Arbeit zur Quantenelektrodynamik (QED). Seine anschauliche Darstellung quantenfeldtheoretischer elementarer Wechselwirkungen durch Feynman-Diagramme ist heute ein De-facto-Standard. Für Feynman war es immer wichtig, die interessanten, aber unanschaulichen Gesetzmäßigkeiten der Quantenphysik Laien und Studenten nahezubringen und verständlich zu machen. An Universitäten ist seine Vorlesungsreihe (The Feynman Lectures on Physics) weit verbreitet. In dem Buch QED. Die seltsame Theorie des ...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=4254 ... Read more

Another textbook
I had to buy this for a class so I wasn't really excited about it. As far as history text books go it's rather good.

Do not Buy
Not much to say about this book, it's all about point and Figure charts so if you like candlestick, line chart or bar chart this book will make no sense to you. I'm so disappointed I could slap my self......if you want a really good Book buy Channel Surfing: Riding the Waves of Channels to Profitable Trading (Paperback)

The American Journey
The book arrived in a timely manner and looked brand new. However, the text itself is okay; it is not the best history book. There were some topics that were not discussed enough and then there were topics that were discussed far too much. Overall, I am satisfied with this purchase.

The book was a bit expensive for the condition of the book.I undertand it is used but still a little high.Overall just o.k.
