The Biggest Bangs: The Mystery of Gamma-Ray Bursts, The Most Violent Explosions in the Universe Hardcover - 2002
by Jonathan I. Katz
A professor of physics explains how scientists are unraveling gamma ray bursts, one of the great mysteries of astronomy. 28 line illustrations.
First line
On December 7, 1941, the "date which will live in infamy," a surprise Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, sank much of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet, shocked Americans from their naive isolationism, and carved a permanent mark in the national character: never again would the United States permit itself to be caught by surprise.
