abeefaria Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 subtitle is: A Wall Street Tycoon and the Secret Palace of Science That Changed the Course of World War II This book is great so far. The tycoon is Alfred Loomis who made a bundle in the stock market and had a penchant for doing physics. He built a lab at his house that was better than any physics lab at any US university in the 1930's. From experiments that he and others performed, he attracted many heavy weight scientists to his home. This is about as far as I have gotten. The great thing about this book is that it is only 8 bucks from Amazon as a hardcover. tuxedo park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
