The Swift Years: The Robert Oppenheimer Story.
Published in Hardcover by Dodd Mead (1969)
Author: Peter. Michelmore
Amazon base price: $6.95
Average review score:

An excellent book about a great physicist
This book is one of the best expositions I have seen of J. Robert Oppenheimer.As everyone knows, he gained international fame as the 'Father of the Atomic Bomb'.But Oppenheimer was more than that.He was a very complex and enigmatic person, and at the heart of it all, a true genius.Michelmore brings out every aspect of this remarkable man's personality and life very well.Especially interesting, and not seen much elsewhere, is his account of Oppenheimer's years as a Professor at Berkeley, and his relations with his students.The best aspect of the book is that, most importantly, Michelmore portrays the true image of Oppenheimer as the role model of the scientist with a conscience.Facing tremendous moral dilemmas after the bombs were dropped on Japan, and becoming the unfortunate victim of a witch hunt, Oppenheimer retired into his own private world after experiences as a top Government advisor.As the Director of Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study, he became a kind of oracle who discoursed about world peace and the moral responsibilities of scientists.Michelmore portrays very well the events in this final period of Oppenheimer's life.Overall, he has written a very enlightening and thought provoking book about one of the most important persons of the twentieth century.I will strongly recommend it to anyone interested in Robert Oppenheimer and his life.

The Secret Life of Children's Art
Always I like being around when children draw. So authors Anthony I Geist and Peter N Carroll get my attention right away when they say that children's art tells us what children go through and see. The examples in THEY STILL DRAW PICTURES show what children zero in on from going through war, from the Spanish civil war of the 1930s, to the Holocaust of the 1930s-1940s, to the Kosovo bloodbath of the 1990s.

All too often what affects children becomes common knowledge, only by way of adults drawing, talking and writing. Yet respected artist, biographer, historian and psychoanalyst Erik H Erikson says that how children feel and think is there for anyone to see in their art. Just look at what the body parts and faces are doing, what colors are used, what things fill up the spaces.

An especially chilling example are children's drawings of German bombers destroying the Spanish Basque city of Guernica. Experts know the exact models being flown, just from children's drawings!

In fact, children's wartime art always tells the same story in the same way. First there's life before the war, such as at a grandmother's house or with a family dog savoring a bone. Next come the war scenes, such as of a soldier whipping a man lashed to a tree. Then there's evacuation, such as of a roadside full of tiny stick figures. And then there's the life in refugee camps, such as of the children playing outside a building while smoke billows from the chimney or of the colony dining room. Finally there's life after the war, such as of a 10-year old girl sitting in the grass, with open book in hand.

The book is clearly organized and interestingly written. It reads well with Ismail Kadare's CHRONICLE IN STONE. It shows well with two videos, JEUX INTERDITS and HOPE AND GLORY.
