Lise Meitner: A Life in Physics Paperback - 1997
by Ruth Lewin Sime
Lise Meitner (1878-1968) was a pioneer of nuclear physics and codiscoverer, with Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann, of nuclear fission. This "riveting and masterful account of a scientist's devotion to physics . . . blends . . science and history with seamless ease" (Marcia Bartusiak, "Washington Post Book World"). 32 photos.
First line
Lise Meitner was born in Vienna in 1878, the third child of Hedwig and Philipp Meitner.
From the rear cover
"Deprived of the Nobel Prize she so clearly deserved for her contribution to the discovery of nuclear fission, Lise Meitner has never been given the attention she deserves in the history of twentieth-century physics. Now, with grace, style, and great authority, Ruth Sime sets the record straight."--Susan Quinn, author of Marie Curie: A Life
