The Pope of Physics: Enrico Fermi and the Birth of the Atomic Age by Gino Segre, Bettina Hoerlin

4.0

Segre's biography was very interesting. There are definitely spaces in the narrative where he doesn't address the "big" issued of nuclear physics - but it also seems that Fermi didn't necessarily address those issues either. He is portrayed as a man driven by his passion for science. I really enjoyed this book and learned a lot - even thought I understood very little of the actual physics.
