Written between 1940 and the late 1970s, the postwar recollections
of renowned physicist Freeman Dyson have been celebrated as an
historic portrait of modern science and its greatest players,
including Robert Oppenheimer, Richard Feynman, Stephen Hawking, and
Hans Bethe. Chronicling the stories of those who were engaged in
solving some of the most challenging quandaries of
twentieth-century physics, Dyson lends acute insight and profound
observations to a life's work spent chasing what Einstein called
those "deep mysteries that Nature intends to keep for herself."
Whether reflecting on the drama of World War II, the moral dilemmas
of nuclear development, the challenges of the space program, or the
demands of raising six children, Dyson's annotated letters reveal
the voice of one "more creative than almost anyone else of his
generation" (Kip Thorne). An illuminating work in these trying
times, Maker of Patterns is an eyewitness account of the scientific
discoveries that define our modern age.
