Faust in Copenhagen: A Struggle for the Soul of Physics by Gino Segrè

3.0

I read this book for a class in college, and our professor ivited the authot of the book to come and talk about it. Gino Segre is a physicist himself, like his uncle Emilio Segre, who won the Nobel prize for discovering anti-protons. He talked about how his own experience of growing up affected him becoming a writer. His father and uncle were not on good terms, and his father, a historian, didn't want him to become a physicist like his uncle. Now he is a little bit of both, writing books about physics history.
