Crossing the boundaries between science and the humanities, the author explores the volumes of discourse involved in the construction of the first atomic bomb in Los Alamos, New Mexico, to discover the role rhetoric plays in the formulation and expression of scientific ideas.

John Canaday is a prize-winning poet and playwright who has been a Watson Fellow and the Starbuck Fellow in Poetry at Boston University. He tutors students in literature, writing, history, mathematics, and physics.
