{"product_id":"trinity","title":"Trinity","description":"Explore the scientific crescendo of the Manhattan Project through newly contextualized and never-before-seen photographs from Los Alamos National Laboratory's legacy collections--some just declassified. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTwenty-one days before the world learned of the atomic bomb through its wartime use against Japan, a team of scientists led by J. Robert Oppenheimer detonated the first nuclear device on a remote stretch of New Mexico desert, in an operation codenamed Trinity. Both a military proof test and an elaborate, well-documented scientific experiment, the Trinity shot on July 16, 1945, brought under the control of humankind a new fire: the energy of the atom. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this expertly curated journey through the beginning of the atomic age, hundreds of carefully restored photographs, still frames, and once-secret documents bring new and vivid focus to a watershed moment in science and history. Written for all to understand, \u003ci\u003eTrinity\u003c\/i\u003e weaves steadily through subplots and surprises set against the evolving, looming backdrop of a world at war. It shadows the humans and hardware at work in the rugged landscape of the test operation; dissects a fiery mushroom cloud unfurling frame by frame, frozen in time; and follows soldiers, scientists, and two atomic bombs across the Pacific Ocean to Tinian Island, onto the strike planes \u003ci\u003eEnola Gay\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBockscar\u003c\/i\u003e, and to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the two Japanese cities devastated on August 6 and 9, 1945. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInviting readers into the clandestine spaces where a new era began--behind the cameras, the bunker doors, the gates and guard posts--\u003ci\u003eTrinity\u003c\/i\u003e strives, grieves, celebrates, and ponders. It artfully captures that extraordinary summer when scientists invented urgently in the waning months of the 'before'--and the tension between violence and progress, hope and fear, that persists into the after.","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":54027009425746,"sku":"9780226848402","price":38.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_22bd7880-23e9-4a75-bb78-4006af771244.jpg?v=1784316633","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/trinity","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
