Recenzii
"Science is done by real human beings, with human concerns. Only the Longest Threads tells a story that conveys the human side of science in a way that is as moving as it is accurate." -- Sean Carroll, theoretical physicist at Caltech & author of "The Particle at the End of the Universe"
"Tasneem Zehra Husain writes lyrically, poetically about life, love, and physics. I highly recommend this wonderful book for anyone interested in what physics, and indeed all of science, is about. She masterfully describes the most momentous moments in physics history with verve and talent." -- Amir D Aczel, bestselling author of "Fermats Last Theorem"
"A delightful meditation on the development of modern physics, culminating in the discovery of the Higgs. Husain follows the thread of its creation through a dialog between a journalist and young theory student, and as seen through the eyes of witnesses." -- John Huth, Donner Professor of Science, Harvard University
"Well-written and cleverly constructed, this book takes us on a journey through the history of physics as a series of fictional adventures, loosely linked by another fiction, the storytellers' emails to each other. Some books are praised because 'I couldnt put it down,' but this one merits a deeper reading, one that stops, muses on, and savors each story before going on to the next. Each one captures not only the emergence of a significant idea in physics, but also something of the characters, culture, and times surrounding that development. So take your time, pause to ponder, but persevere, you will be well rewarded!" -- Helen R Quinn, Physicist, Science Educator & co-author of "The Mystery of the Missing Antimatter", Professor Emeritus SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
"How do theoretical physicists think? Tasneem Zehra Husain knows. She knows their purpose, feels their passions, articulates their frustrations, shares their triumphs. Through the device of fiction Only the Longest Threads communicates the history of physical thoughtits roots in inquisitiveness and essential disinterest in outcomewith greater clarity than any popular science text." -- Michael Duff FRS, Abdus Salam Professor of Theoretical Physics, Imperial College London
"An artfully constructed journey through space and time." -- Freddy Cachazo, Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics
"Husain skillfully weaves a poetic tapestry." -- Joseph Mazur, author of "Enlightening Symbols"
