One has to grow up with good talk in order to form the habit of it.
ISBN10: 0571222781, ISBN13: 9780571222780, [publisher: Faber & Faber, United Kingdom, London] Softcover Paul Dirac was one of the leading pioneers of the greatest revolution in 20th-century science: quantum mechanics. One of the youngest theoreticians ever to win the Nobel Prize for Physics, he was also pathologically reticent, strangely literal-minded and legendarily unable to communicate or empathize. Through his greatest period of productivity, his postcards home contained only remarks about the weather. Based on a previously undiscovered archive of family papers, Graham Farmelo celebrates Dirac's massive scientific achievement while drawing a compassionate portrait of his life and work. Farmelo shows a man who, while hopelessly socially inept, could manage to love and sustain close friendship. 'The Strangest Man' is an extraordinary and moving human story, as well as a study of one of the most exciting times in scientific history. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. [Goring-By-Sea, WS, United Kingdom] [Publication Year: 2009]

ISBN10: 0571222781, ISBN13: 9780571222780, [publisher: Faber and Faber] Hardcover First Edition First Edition (London, 2009). Prominent name to ffep, clean and fine throughout thereafter. No textual markings or annotations. Single (small) faint stain to bottom of page block fore edge. Unclipped dust jacket. Essentially undamaged, with only negligible edge wear (principally to the back bottom edge; tiny closed nick to back top edge, approx. 1mm) . Black cloth with bright silver titling to the spine. The boards remain clean, sharp, and fine. (Note: the weight of the page block has produced a gentle crease down the centre of the spine. This crease is almost certainly unrelated to any reading or handling; indeed the book is very possibly unread). Overall, a near fine copy, save for the name inscription. 539pp. Illustrated.
