Review
John Rigden's biography of Isidor Rabi, the American physicist and Nobel prizewinner--for the development of nuclear magnetic resonance--and eventually 'statesman' of science, has been reissued in paperback. Rabi's life was remarkable, full of incident, vision and action, including war, hot and cold. The biography is a masterpiece, rich in anecdote and never losing the narrative drive.
