A Christmas Present for the Woman in Your Life!
I had a well-educated lady round for lunch today and she saw the book below on the counter.
Lise Meitner: A Life in Physics (California Studies in the History of Science)
In my view it is one of the best reads, if you are interested in science between the wars and especially in Germany. It also tells the story of one of the greatest women scientists of all time; Lise Meitner.
I would be more likely to order it from the library, I spend far too much on books, and even then, rarely buy any books which arent reference books of some sort
