Atomic Fragments : A Daughter's Questions

Palevsky needed to come to terms with the moral complexities of the atomic bomb. Her parents worked on its development during WW2 & were profoundly changed by that experience. After they died, unanswered questions sent their daughter on a search for understanding. This compelling heart-wrenching chronicle is the story of that quest, a journey into the minds, memories, & emotions of the bomb builders. Scientists Hans Bethe, Edward Teller, Joseph Rotblat, Herbert York, Philip Morrison, & Robert Wilson, & philosopher David Hawkins, responded to Palevsky's personal questions in a way that expands their previously pub. statements. She also captures other remembrances of the bomb through chance encounters with people who were there.Ó PhotosPalevsky, Mary is the author of 'Atomic Fragments : A Daughter's Questions', published 2006 under ISBN 9781422351192 and ISBN 142235119X.
