The Fly in the Cathedral: How a Group of Cambridge Scientists Won the International Race to Split the Atom
by Brian Cathcart

Annotation
Written for the non-scientist by London author, former reporter and self-acclaimed non-scientist Brian Cathcart, "The Fly in the Cathedral" is an accessible account of the lives and work of the scientists who split the atom. Black and white photos of scientist's notebook entries, their labs, equipment and inventions let the reader peek into the world of physicists such as John Cockroft, Ernest Walton, Robert van de Graaff and Merle Tuve.
