Fritz Haber, Alexander Grothendieck, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schr?dinger-these are some of the luminaries into whose troubled lives Benjam?n Labatut thrusts the listener, showing us how they grappled with the most profound questions of existence. They have strokes of unparalleled genius, alienate friends and lovers, descend into isolation and insanity. Some of their discoveries reshape human life for the better; others pave the way to chaos and unimaginable suffering. The lines are never clear. At a breakneck pace and with a wealth of disturbing detail, Labatut uses the imaginative resources of fiction to tell the stories of the scientists and mathematicians who expanded our notions of the possible. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Scientists $v Fiction. 700 1 $a West, Adrian Nathan, $e translator. 700 1 $a Barr, Adam, $e narrator. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/14508054?utm_source=MARC $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/dsa_9781666527667_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20220104013710.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D85BCFC4598611EC9F5A40905DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
