The story of the twentieth century is largely the story of the power of science and technology. Within that story is the incredible tale of the human conflict between three men-Robert Oppenheimer, Ernest Lawrence, and Edward Teller-the scientists most responsible for the advent of weapons of mass destruction. How did science, enlisted in the service of the state during the Second World War, become a slave to its patron during the Cold War-and scientists with it? The story of these three men, is fundamentally about loyalty-to the country, to science, and to each other-and about the wrenching choices that had to be made when these allegiances came into conflict.
Gregg Herken gives us the behind-the-scenes account based upon a decade of research, interviews, and new documents. Brotherhood of the Bomb is a vital slice of American history told authoritatively-and grippingly-for the first time.

Описание: Having virtually inhaled innumerable self-help books, courses of therapy, human development workshops plus intensive rabbinical studies, Rebba Raine Teller found what had been missing thanks to the Life Coaching she received from Robyn Jamison. Her delight was so great that she took on writing a book about it. She envisioned a book that people could read about her personal journey and gain access to the actual coaching process. To that end, she invited Robyn to write it with her. This book is the realization of that vision. In it, we walk you through each of the sixteen sessions of Transformational Life Coaching Raine underwent, with notes and insights from the coach's perspective and deeply moving sharing from Raine's life as she went through the coaching. You are likely to see yourself in Raine's sharing - in her challenges, her insights and her breakthroughs. You can even walk yourself through the sessions by reading and applying them and doing the Follow-Up practices-rendering this a book that changes your life. I Was Never Broken in my professional assessment will become a sacred and pragmatic manifesto for decades. The melodic, but candid heart-wrenching recounting of two intertwining paths of strangers, Robyn Jamison (a Professional Life Coach) and Rebba Raine Teller (a Rabbi and Teacher), that mushroomed into a beautiful, yet powerful transformation work of literature, will challenge and inspire every area of your life. Just as Rabbi Teller's personal challenges became trophies of courage, you too will find your voice and demand more of your time, talent, and resources to conquer the crevices of stagnation by identifying and cleaning up any messy components that send mixed messages into the universe that cancel out personal progress. This book offers informative tools to help you gain emotional strength to eradicate excessive debris of thought and practices and develop a deeper spiritual awareness of your Divine Completeness because you were never broken. - Dr. Janice Hollis, author, and media executive
Was the Cold War a clash of belief systems or simply a race for technology? How did the Information Age of humankind begin at the end of the millennium? Is the evolution of species God's awesome means of creation, or is it just a very long sequence of accidents? Is there evidence of a spiritual world beyond the material? Can science of the twenty-first century provide us with all the truth and meaning of life? The answers to these seemingly disparate questions could be found in the life of a computer science engineer who was involved in designing the first computers in his own country behind the Iron Curtain and who later emigrated to the West. His journey across technological advances, nations, cultures, worldviews, and political and social systems as they were changing dramatically at the end of the millennium is captivating.
The book considers the problems of humanity through the life of the baby boom generation during the Cold War-their upbringing and realizations, their aspirations, their challenges, their successes, their failures, and their disillusionment as they searched for something firmer to hold on to for the truth and the meaning of life. They experienced turbulence and trauma just in the apogee of their age when many are expected to bear fruit and enjoy it. Instead, they had to make life-changing decisions and dramatic moves that were very similar to the flying of an adult bird kept in a cage since birth. It was a quest for worldviews and value systems that required them to step out of the narrow profession and engage more actively with social and ethical issues in order to survive. The story is an unequivocal testimony to God's magnificent grace to mankind.
