Wonderfully done maps and detailed cue sheets guide you on the less traveled roads of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The "sampler" cue sheet is my favorite. This book is great if your going to spend a beautiful fall weekend in Bucks County. Most of the rides are less than 20 miles in length, which is ideal for the casual cyclist. Includes bike shop and rental information as well as places to dine.

The other review nicely describe this gem, but makes it sound like something only a scientist could understand. I'd just like to add that any intelligent person will have no trouble following this lucid account of the first two years of Los Alamos.

This book is THRILLING in the scope and depth of its description of HOW the bomb was made. This was a unique historical event in that the best brains in the world, stimulated by a sense of extreem urgency and given, in effect, unlimited physical and financial resources accomplished in the space of three years somthing that in the 1930's was considered as Science Fiction.

The book is highly readable and understandable by non technical people. This book is proof that "once upon a time" we did things "Right the First Time" in this country. An outstanding historical and technical account of the "ultimate" invention.

Very well written and does not overwhelm the reader with technical minutia. This is an excellent companion to Richard Rhodes' The Making of the Atomic Bomb and will please any student of the history of science.
