About this title: HYDROGEN recreates the race to unravel the mystery of this powerful atom. Drawing on the letters of some of science's greatest minds, from Einstein to Bohr, from Heisenberg to Schrodinger, Rigden explains how the element was handled and tinkered with in their capable hands, illustrating how one contribution fed another--and how far we still are from understanding hydrogen's subtle complexity.
