About the above book...

The book is devoted to the story of the brave individuals who ridiculed and even excommunicated from science. But they continued their work. From the book the reader will learn what obstacles they had to overcome some scientific authorities opposed them, some significant results have been achieved in real finders are still mysterious, but very attractive area of science - nuclear physics.

The book consists of three parts. The first period is described beginning XX century, when there was a rapid development of nuclear physics, transmutation elements have been opened, the splitting of the nucleus, the first elementary particles, the first basic laws of interaction of nuclear particles, preferably energy. The second part describes a "quiet" period, full of dogmatism and the emergence of new shoots of knowledge on the physics of weak interactions. It lasted from the creation of the atomic bombs and reactors to Chernobyl, when the first doubts: we all know? From that moment again smelled a "revolution", appeared again curious, inquisitive and doubting "Pseudoscientists". This period, which lasts until today, when there is light in the darkness, is described in the third, the most interesting part. This period continues, but it is clear that very soon happen again breaking the old concepts and will take a new leap in nuclear physics.

The book is addressed to all those interested in the history of science and nuclear physics.
