Publisher's Comments (cont.)
Science author and educator Hargittai (chemistry, Budapest U. of Technology and Economics, Hungary), offers a comprehensive picture of the brilliant but controversial scientist Edward Teller in this biography. The author takes advantage of previously unknown archival material, his own recollections of his acquaintance with the man, and interviews with many of the people who knew him to define who Teller really was. Teller, considered by many as the "father of the hydrogen bomb," was a hero of the Cold War to many and the stereotypical evil scientist to others. The book will interest readers who want a definitive account of this brilliant, flawed, and controversial figure in science and American history.
