|  | Untitled Autobiography by Eric Seaborg
A researcher of plutonium as World War II broke out, Seaborg found himself in the center of the scientific community--a key player on the Manhattan Project--as the war ensued. This autobiography documents his view of those years and his subsequent career as a nuclear scientist, for which he earned the Nobel Prize in 1951. Here he discusses his ethics and illuminates many points of his research in a manner accessible to nonscientists. AUTHOR: Eric Seaborg
