作者簡介
B.卡梅隆·里德 Bruce Cameron Reed is the Charles A. Dana Professor of Physics at Alma College, Alma, Michigan. He holds a PhD in Physics from the University of Waterloo in Canada. In addition to a quantum mechanics text and three other books on the Manhattan Project (including the IOP Concise Physics volume Atomic Bomb: The Story of the Manhattan Project), he has published over 100 papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals on research in the fields of astronomy, data analysis, quantum physics, mathematics, nuclear physics, the history of physics, and the physics of nuclear weapons. In 2009 he was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society 'For his contributions to the history of both the physics and the development of nuclear weapons in the Manhattan Project'.In 2016 he was elected a Fellow of the Institute of Physics. He lives in Michigan with his wife Laurie.
