Description

The Los Alamos Primer by Robert Serber is a rare and significant historical document. In 1943, it was compiled as a guide for new workers at Los Alamos, outlining the knowledge and techniques necessary to build a practical fission bomb. This booklet, written by Robert Serber, who was tasked with summarizing existing knowledge, provides a unique insight into the development of nuclear technology during World War II. The Primer is a collection of notes from lectures given by Serber, which were later compiled into this slim volume. The book's content reflects the expertise of its author, who bridged theory and reality in his work. Today, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of nuclear research and development. This edition features the full text of the Primer, including censor markings, in full color. It is an affordable way to touch on a piece of history, providing valuable information for those interested in science, technology, and military history.
