Born in colonial New Zealand, Ernest Rutherford grew up on the
frontier a different world from Cambridge, to which he won a
scholarship at the age of twenty-four. His work revolutionized
modern physics. Among his discoveries were the orbital structure of
the atom and the concept of the "half-life" of radioactive
materials. Rutherford and the young men working under him were the
first to split the atom, unlocking tremendous forces forces, as
Rutherford himself predicted, that would bring us the atomic bomb.
In Richard Reeves's hands, Rutherford comes alive, a ruddy, genial
man and a pivotal figure in scientific history.
