Rabi, Scientist and Citizen

“John Rigden’s biography of Isidor Rabi, the American physicist and Nobel Prize–winner—for the development of nuclear magnetic resonance—and eventually ‘statesman’ of science, has been reissued in paperback. Rabi’s life was remarkable, full of incident, vision and action, including war, hot and cold. The biography is a masterpiece, rich in anecdote and never losing the narrative drive.”—New Scientist
