dray 's review for:

4.0

This a well written book about atomic physics, detailing the experiments and discoveries that have led us to our current understanding. Really a good account of both the science and personalities involved. No 5th star because the writer inexplicably rants against religion, which i find detracts from his thesis. he is no Richard Dawkins, although Dawkins is mentioned, Anyway, subtract the distribe and you have an excellent science book.
