Description: First edition, first printing of Oppenheimer’s selected lectures on nuclear weapons and popular culture. Inscribed by the author on the front “to Peter, with good wishes”. J. Robert Oppenheimer is known as the Father of the Atomic Bomb, head of the Manhattan Project, and the founder of modern theoretical physics in America. The book begins with a report on atomic explosives made in May 1946, less than a year after the development of the first atomic bomb. It closes with the already famous voices of the world's arts and sciences which was the concluding lecture in Columbia University's Bicentennial, delivered in 1955. Together, these essays make a fascinating record of change and growth, over ten years, in the thinking of one of the outstanding scholars of this generation.
