Trade Review
"A lively collection of reminiscences about the greatest Italian scientist of the twentieth century." (New Scientist) "Fermi Remembered provides fascinating insights into Fermi's style and the beginning of the Manhattan project." (Times Higher Education) "As a researcher and a teacher, Fermi inspired two generations and two continents-a man whose charismatic nature attracted many talented scientists and students to Chicago. What emerges from this book is the gratitude of so many extraordinary physicists to their master, who instilled in them a passion that has lasted a lifetime: the passion for physics." (Physics World)"
