A mixture of memoir and biography, Chasing the Ghost: Nobelist Fred
Reines and the Neutrino tells a deeply human story that appeals
both to scientists and non-scientists. Although the book relates to
the important discovery of neutrinos, it is more intimately about
Fred Reines than the technical details of neutrino physics.
Narrated in a fashion to interest and excite the reader, the
science presented here is accessible to a broad audience. Coursing
through Reines' life, his various challenges and encounters, the
book reveals constants of his persona. Reines displayed a sustained
consistency as a respected leader, admired by students and
colleagues as a fount of big ideas and ambition. A continuing
source of inspiration and motivation to others, his most basic
consistency was his passion for science. The quest for knowledge
about the wondrous universe is a profoundly human endeavor. Fred
Reines' life and his unremitting scientific curiosity are
emblematic of that truth.
