Rabi, Scientist and Citizen

Rigden's biography of I. I. Rabi, one of the most influential physicists of the 20th century, is now reissued with a new Preface. Rabi's discovery of the magnetic resonance method won him the Nobel Prize in 1944 and stimulated refinements in quantum electrodynamics, molecular beam methods, radio astronomy, atomic clocks, and solid state masers.
