S. S. Schweber.   Nuclear Forces: The Making of the Physicist Hans Bethe.   Cambridge   Harvard University Press, 2012.   608 pp.   $35.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-674-06587-1. Reviewed by Al Berger (University of North Dakota, History Department) Published on H-War (March, 2013) Commissioned by Margaret Sankey Becoming Hans Bethe This book is not a direct study of war or military history. It has something to say about what science and war were doing to each other as they became closely associated at the beginning of the twentieth century; nevertheless, readers seeking new tales of the Manhattan Project will not find them here. To be sure, physics Nobel laureate Hans Bethe became the public character he did because he was director of the Theoretical Division at the Los Alamos laboratory that built the first atomic bombs. However, this book is not about that part of Bethe's life; in fact, it mentions it only tangentially. Silvan Sc...

Registration for the 48th annual Joint Atlantic Seminar for the History of Biology will be open until April 1.

HumSci Workshop for PhDs and ECRs - Tuesday 28th and Wednesday 29th May 2013. Is it possible to think about the connections between the sciences and humanities which goes beyond science communication (ie how can the ‘soft skills’ of the humanities be used to communicate the ‘hard results’ of science) or the History of Science, and which doesn’t get distracted by ‘The Two Cultures' discussion? The idea of the HumSci workshop, funded by the AHRC, is to promote genuine reciprocity between the two disciplines by bringing together PhD students and Early Career Researchers from both the sciences and the humanities to think through issues of method, creativity and uncertainty in research, as well as publishing and communication.   Led by expert panels, talking through the similarities and differences in the disciplines will help us critically reflect on the practices of our own discipline, as well as creating fresh research agendas.   Have a look at the provisional progr...
