Book Description
In this absorbing account of life with the great atomic scientist Enrico Fermi, Laura Fermi tells the story of their emigration to the United States in the 1930s—part of the widespread movement of scientists from Europe to the New World that was so important to the development of the first atomic bomb. Combining intellectual biography and social history, Laura Fermi traces her husband's career from his childhood, when he taught himself physics, through his rise in the Italian university system concurrent with the rise of fascism, to his receipt of the Nobel Prize, which offered a perfect opportunity to flee the country without arousing official suspicion, and his odyssey to the United States.

Living with Enrico!.......2007-06-04
On first glance the title of this book appears to be a play on the ADDAMS FAMILY TV series. However, this book was originally published in 1952 and the TV series didn't come out until a decade later. However, there was apparently a newspaper cartoon that the TV series was based on, and that dates back to the 1930s. Whether Mrs. Fermi made a conscious pun or not I don't know. Would be a bizarre nexus between the Addams family & the great Enrico Fermi, but.....
In any case, this book is a biography of Enrico Fermi, who was the greatest Italian physicist of the 20th century. He was probably the greatest Italian scientist since Galileo Galilei. Fermi was in charge of the first team to successfully unleash a controlled nuclear reaction. Also, one major type of photon (the "Fermion") is named after him [the other major type of photon is the "Boson"].
One of the nice things about having a non-scientist (in this case, his wife) write the biography is that we get to see the man "behind the equations." Laura Fermi describes his quirks and we also find out that he had a sense-of-humor almost comparable to Richard Feynman.
Another intriguing aspect of the book is that we get a view of the Manhattan Project from a non-scientist's point of view. Mrs. Fermi gives us an inside look at the living conditions and everyday duties / chores of someone who was not actually working on the bomb. This is an interesting viewpoint as I've read several other accounts of Los Alamos as told thru the eyes of the scientists who worked on the bomb.
This is an important book that gives insight into one of the biggest names in modern physics. That he ended up settling in the United States is of great fortitude to we Americans. His discoveries have been a monumental boon to science, and in this book is his life story.
A Review on Enrico Fermi's biography by Sahar S........2006-04-06
The novel Atoms in the Family; My Life With Enrico Fermi by Laura Fermi is a superbly well written biography. Laura Fermi recounts her husband's life starting from his childhood when he taught himself physics, to his life in the Universities and winning his Nobel prize, to immigrating to the United States because of the Fascist leaders taking over their home town in Italy. Enrico Fermi was a brilliant man who discovered his passion and talent for physics and mathematics at a very young age. He first attended and then taught at some of the most prestigious schools around the world. His devotion to physics and his consistency in his research got him the respect of many people all around the world.
The author, I believe, was compelled to write this story as a tribute to the many accomplishments of her husband. Also, she wanted to give the world the story of Enrico Fermi's life from her perspective.
Though I disagree with the production and utilization of any kind of bomb, let alone atomic bombs, I enjoyed reading this novel because it recounted a bit of human history. Laura Fermi has not made this novel more than a mere biography. It is an exciting story of a man's life, his many accomplishments along with his fears and doubts.
Life with a genius, in the strange world of Los Alamos.......1999-09-25
I rated this so high, partly because it is one of the few books I remember reading, 35+ years ago. Around the same time I had read another book about the Manhattan Project, "The Traitors," by Alan Moorehead (apparently out of print.) Between the two I found out that most of the scientists' wives were not told why their husbands were so excited on the night of July 16, 1945 until after the war was over; meanwhile Stalin was notified through his spy network within 48 hours, during the Potsdam Conference.
I also thought she told a great story about the difficulties for a family to not only move into a strange country with strange languages and customs, only to find themselves rushed into an isolated paramilitary environment.
No great lessons in nuclear fission, lots for nuclear families.
BTW, I was surprised that Amazon does not cross-list this among the other Manhattan Project books.
25 % biography of Enrico Fermi........1998-11-10
Laura Fermi explains her husband life: the family, the adventures of the italian physicists, the Nobel prize, the American life, the Manhattan project. But Fermi life is full of physics, and in the book you don't find any explanation of the discoveries which took most of his time. It is a pity that Laura didn't get more information from her husband work to realize how great it was and how it influenced the future of quantum mechanic. Fermi was one of the top ones. I recommend this book as a preliminar biography but not as a deep one.
A charming account of Fermi's life by his wife.......1998-08-10
I first read this book more than 40 years ago. I still reread it, now and then. It is the source of most of the anecdotes that helped to explain, and disseminate, the Fermi style of doing physics. I am particularly fond of the memories of the youth of Laura Fermi, when Enrico was a young "dottore", and, together with a group of friends, used to hike the Italian Alps at holidays. Everything was used to teach science, or the way of thinking needed in science (for instance, the thermodynamics of the frying pan!). Later you'll find this "physics at the finger tips" approach used to estimate the power emitted at the first nuclear explosion. A great book.

Andrew Ullrich Enrico Fermi review2.......2006-04-25
Overall, the book "Enrico Fermi Physicist" was very informative and interesting. The long time friend and first graduate of Fermi, Mr. Emilo Segre, stood by Fermi's side for many years. Mr. Serge also wrote the book, and was able to do so in a very all-inclusive manner. Not only does the book teach us everything that Fermi's has accomplished through his long and illustrious career as a physicist, but it also shows us a very human side of this brilliant mind. There are stories about Enrico's childhood dispersed intermittently throughout the book, so we can look at Fermi as a regular person, rather than as a series of brilliant mathematical laws and experiments. Due to the chronological design of the book, we see Enrico grow from a young and furtive mind, with an unrestrained sense of enthusiasm for math and science, into an old and wise master of physics.
I think that Emilio Segre was compelled to write his book on Fermi for several reasons. By reading the book it is very clear that Segre has the utmost respect and appreciation for Fermi because when he describes the man it is in a tone of awe. He spends almost a page later on in the book talking about how impressed everyone was by Fermi, and how the man's brilliant mind warranted respect form all who could see him work. I also think that Segre felt some type of duty, almost a responsibility, to share Fermi's story with the rest of the world because he knew he was better qualified for the task than anyone, thanks to his close relationship with Fermi.
By reading this book one learns of Fermi's classical experiments, which would eventually come to yield the atomic pile, and later help foster the construction of the atom bomb to be dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II. There is also a myriad of additional scientific details in the book, depicted in confusing and esoteric jargon. Personally, I think the book could have been more simplistic in the explanations of Fermi's work, instead of spending so much time with detailed information of little significance to the average reader. Overall, the book was engrossing, but excess scientific information gets a bit cumbersome later on in the book.
Science buffs who also like a bit of history and want to learn about a scientist's life should read this story. As far as scientists go, I found Enrico Fermi to be one of the more fascinating scientists to ever live. Through reading the book, Fermi is revealed not only as a scientific and mathematical genius, but also a fun loving kid, who was almost expelled from school for a prank he pulled.
Detailed Work on a Most Interesting Character.......2006-04-18
I found this entire work to be well written and very informative on both the more personal life of Enrico Fermi, and on his various accomplishments and work regarding radioactivity and physics. Despite being written from a more personal view, as it was authored by a friend, the book maintains its commtittment to detailing the events in his life, including what influenced him and what he in turn influenced. A fascinating tale of a Nobel Prize Winner who worked on the infamous Manhattan Project, this book lists the many discoveries Fermi came upon and what his work later led to in the discovery of producing the fission needed for reactor and atomic weapons. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in this area of physics, and those interested in the people tied to the Manhattan project. As a scientist, Enrico Fermi was an accomplished individual, and this book is able to bring to light the depth of his character and efforts in his respective field. Written from his friend's perspective, the retelling of his life is very well planned and thought out, and I commend the detail Segre put into its creation. With various interviews and detailed accounts of his life, this book is an invaluable resource for understanding more about the atomic bomb and the people who helped bring it to life. One of the most important things books serves to do is to remind American citizens how lucky they are to have gotten such great physicists and scientists to come support this country and how invaluable they are today, as they gave us a chance for the future.
Great Story-Man on a Mission, Time Magazine Top 20 of 20th Century.......2005-12-12
I've always been fascinated with Fermi's life and knew very little about him. I'm spending too much time reading on present day problems and people complaining about their rights being violated. Time Magazine rated Fermi one of the Top 20 scientists of the 20th century, including Einstein, Salk, Wright Brothers, Hubble and others. Fermi's wife was Jewish so in the late 1930's they left Italy to come to America (real lucky for us). Imagine adding Fermi to the Nazi research and subtracting him from our research. I think we would all be talking German today if Fermi assisted the Nazi's. I am not a scientific person (like the prior reviewer has so expertly depicted)but a realist. After America declared war on Italy, Germany and Japan, Fermi was declared an enemy alien, like many Italian Americans. Fermi's travel was limited and his mail read by the government. Did Fermi leave America, did he ask the Supreme Court to rule if his rights were violated, did he go to the newspapers, no he continued his work to help defeat the Nazi's and Imperial Japan. Imagine Fermi one of the greatest of the 20th century being restricted in his travel. Today, every two bit con artist complains today their human rights are being violated if their back packs are searched. I did not understand any of the scientific writing but the man was remarkable and history has judged him one of the best. Not many people real know his story, unless you are in the scientific community. I'm not sure why, history would be a lot different if Fermi had not come to America. If you do not understand the scientific part read the War Years and Professor at Chicago. With Salk, Einstein, Hubble, Fermi changed the world. Think where we would be today without him. Think about all the great scientist in the last cenury, only 20 picked, Fermi was one of them.
Very informative.......2005-04-01
I thought this book was great and did a great job of pacing the reader through Enrico's life, as well as superbly establishing a connection between the reader and Enrico. Emilio Serge did a great job of making it feel like you actually knew Enrico Fermi in real life which made the book that much more engaging and enjoyable. To be honest I found the beginning of the book the most interesting, more specifically Enrico's childhood experiences, influences and how he became interested in physics altogether. After checking multiple online sources, I found the book itself to be one of the most comprehensive sources for information on Fermi, as it includes the entire scope of his accomplishments, dreams, failures and life changing experiences. Written in a very simple yet elegant manner, Serge writes with an embedded loving friendship that still exists despite Enrico's untimely death at the young age of 53. Every page is filled with a seemingly endless number of intriguing facts about Enrico's life, whether it be his troubles and resistances along the way to success or the outcome that occurred after his development of the atomic bomb. Recommended.
From one physisict to another.......2001-04-22
This is an interesting biography for it is written by a friend with same interests and loyalty to each other. No jealosy, no envie but appreciation and loyalty how nice. This is the story of Fermi mostly about his intellectual and social life and not about his private life and that part is in fact covered very nicely by his wife in her beautiful book. Segre without any short cuts describe Fermi, his behaior, his mastery in physics with all important documents reproduced and day by day their successes and few dissappointments. There are certain scientific explanations about the experiments they conducted days in and days out and if you are not into Atomic physics those explanations are just words but even if you do not know what they are doing you still get the pleasure of visualising masters in action. descriptions are very vivid. Hard work is necessary but knowing what you are doing is more important and this book along with the biographies of other master Physisist shows the same. Prof Serge is exteremely good in writing biography, you do not get bored while reading the book. All the surroundings, social and political world conditions are clearly described, showing the conditions these people had to go through and yet was exteremely productive.
Book Description
In 1938, at the age of 37, Enrico Fermi was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. That same year he emigrated from Italy to the United States and, in the course of his experiments, discovered nuclear fission--a process which forms the basis of nuclear power and atomic bombs. Soon the brilliant physicist was involved in the top secret race to produce the deadliest weapon on Earth. He created the first self-sustaining chain reaction, devised new methods for purifying plutonium, and eventually participated in the first atomic test. This compelling biography traces Fermi's education in Italy, his meteoric career in the scientific world, his escape from fascism to America, and the ingenious experiments he devised and conducted at the University of Rome, Columbia University, and the Los Alamos laboratory. The book also presents a mini-course in quantum and nuclear physics in an accessible, fast-paced narrative that invokes all the dizzying passion of Fermis brilliant discoveries.

Fermi made accesible to all.......2005-12-15
This is the perfect biography for anyone wanting to learn more about a great man, one of the greatest physicists. Enough of his physics were mentioned or included to make it non-trivial to me (junior astrophysics major, with Fermi distribution functions currently flying out of my ears) and yet I would have no compunctions handing this book to my little cousins in elementary school if they needed to read/write a book report on the life and accomplishments of one of the greatest and most influential scientists of our era. In fact, I would say that is the preferred audience, all physics students have heard of Fermi, but most children (and indeed, most adults) are unaware of his contributions to the way we see the world around us, and to history. All of that is here, in this biography easily accesible to anyone.
The spirit and mind that led to a Nobel Prize and much more.......1999-04-07
I'm the author of this book. I sought to show how physics is done and how one of the greatest scientists of our time used his fine mind and friendly yet competitive ways to succeed. I believe I've made Fermi, the man, and the physics he did accessible to a wide range of readers. Don't be put off if you found physics hard in school -- this isn't like that, and it ain't brain surgery.
Fermi was famous for being one of those very rare physicists who are good at both theory and experiment. That helped as he and his team did the neutron experiments that led to his 1938 Nobel Prize. After a dramatic escape from fascist Italy, he and his family emigrated to America. There he went on to create the first nuclear chain reaction (on December 2, 1942) and to play a major role in the development of the atom bomb. After helping to win World War II, he helped set sensible science policy and did more great physics. His name is enshrined in the element Fermium, in the Fermi National Accelerator Lab, and in some of the most impotant concepts of physics.
This book is a good way to learn about a great man and about the way the physical world works. I hope you'll enjoy it; let me know what you think of it.
Book Description
Acclaimed author Lydia Millet's latest novel is a black-comic tour de force depicting atomic bomb creators Robert Oppenheimer, Enrico Fermi, and Leo Szilard. Despite being dead, these scientists are spotted in Santa Fe by a shy librarian named Ann. She becomes convinced they are real and, to the dismay of her husband, devotes herself to them. The trio quickly acquire a sugar daddy — a young pothead millionaire from Tokyo — and a vast cult following of hippies, Christians, New Agers, bikers, A-bomb survivors, and curious anthropologists who join them on an RV pilgrimage to Washington, D.C. Heroes to some, lunatics or con artists to others, the scientists finally become messianic religious figureheads to fanatics who believe Oppenheimer is the Second Coming. This imaginative novel, rich with incident, brilliantly marries their journey to a history of atomic and thermonuclear weapons and to the emotionally intimate tale of a middle-class couple trying to stay hopeful about the future as they grow close to the men who gave birth to the nuclear threat.
Customer Reviews:
Not so pure a book.......2007-07-20
Interesting. Very interesting premise. And Ms. Millet can write well. OK, so far so good. Then I began to skim near the last third of the book. This is the thing: all those wacko creatures showed up and sabotaged this book. 50 pages of wackos could have been cut without anyone noticing, much less caring. Writers say that sometimes characters and events just simply present themselves, show up uninvited as it were. Well that's what seems to have happened here. And they all but trashed any meaning or message in this book which may have been lurking, radiant maybe, or even pure.
two for one- a review I wrote halfway through, and a final thought.......2007-04-16
While this may seem like your everyday, average book about reincarnated physicists, the author goes beyond the plot quite often in her writing style. Sometimes it is in what characters say, and other in narrative observations, but she frequently sticks little nuggets of "other" into the story that make me do a double take and have to reread the sentence and rethink.
One of these is on page 121. "People don't like syllables anymore, mused Szilard." I personally have gone through my life without noticing this, but the author points it out and we can see that it is very truthful. Acronyms, nicknames, abbreviations, all of these are because people do not like syllables anymore.
Another cutting remark from Szilard is on page 114. "It was the last gasp of pure science in this country, uncorrupted by commerce. You know, before the corporations owned the universities." Szilard is often the conveyor of these tart little statements, often in the middle of other conversations. He is also a source for humor. On the same page, he asks, "They grow halibut in the desert these days?"
One line on page 111 that I will still have to think about later is from Ben. "He was hoping that his collusion in the fantasy would set her free to be bored." I am still not sure of all that this sentence means, but perhaps something like he is humoring her until she is ready to go back to their normal, quiet lives.
I feel like this story is going very slowly. This may be because I have to stop every 10 sentences or so and reread the complex sentences such as above. The words are not complex, but the ideas behind them are.
Whatever the reason, at this point it does not seem like all that much has happened besides conversation, eating, sleeping, and Szilard crashing Ben's truck. I may not be as far into the book as I had hoped to be by now, but I am getting the feeling that if I just skipped to the end I would not miss much, as far as action and plot movement are concerned.
There has been a lot going on with Ann and Ben growing apart, and Ann distancing herself from her current situation and moving toward life revolving around three self-centered, egocentric displaced scientists. I am ready for less talk and more action, however.
Part II:
I find this work to be depressing, cynical, and full of gloom and doom. Al Gore's movie was full of unhappy news, but he at least gave hope at the end- what you can do to change this. What is Millet's message of hope? What is she hoping to change?
There are multiple historical tidbits about seals whose eyeballs are crushed and birds whose feet are blasted up into their bodies and the growing likelihood of nuclear assaults. She describes in vivid detail the horror the people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki went through. But she also shows through the story how thousands of people cannot effect change. What does she expect us to do?
I feel like people write books with a purpose. The author puts it well with her discussion of entertainment and enlightenment. I feel this book was not meant to entertain, so it must be the latter. But she drives her point home so many times that it begins to lose its value. Just as she tries to prove the point that there is too much to see for anyone to see anything, she is hitting us with too much for us to feel anything.
This is not the worst book I have read, certainly, but the author's goal and method of achievement do not strike me as "shattering and beautiful" or "genius."
Wonderful premise, too long for its own good........2007-03-24
I read about Oh Pure and Radiant Heart in a blog that is on my regular reading list. The blog writer was more enthusiastic about this book than I have ever heard him be about any other book he discussed. On that basis, I thought it was worth giving it a try.
I *loved* the book for the first 150 pages. I could not believe how much I loved the writing, and how connected I felt to the characters. It is really magical how Millet is able to make the surreal situation so very real. I really dreaded the moment when the book would end.
Be careful what you wish for, right? The second half of the book is unfortunately nowhere near as compelling as the first. It had a little bit the feel of a book where the author had painted herself into the corner. It felt as though Millet did not really know where to go with the wonderful premise that she had imagined. I may be wrong about that, but I can at least say that as a reader it was very difficult to hold on to the thread. I cannot help but wonder if a little bit more help from an editor would have prevented the problem.
In any case, Millet is hugely impressive as a writer. I certainly will not be giving up on her work. Recommended (with my caveats above) for fans of smart speculative fiction. If you like a lyrical tone to your prose, Millet should appeal to your taste.
vivid and compelling.......2006-05-22
this is a richly imagined, often deeply funny, book about a deadly serious subject. highly recommended!
Beautiful, important novel.......2006-05-03
I haven't read anything this ambitious and successful in a long time. The ending took my breath away. Reviewers who dismiss this ingenious book by calling it names reveal more about themselves than about this graceful and extraordinary story. Finally, a writer not afraid to take on big things! Highly recommend.

Book Description
A quiet, shy boy, Enrico Fermi found escape in books on mathematics and physics. To him, those subjects made sense. The outside world was far more confusing. It was a place where Fermi's older brother died during a simple operation, where his young wife was persecuted for her religion. It was also a world Fermi would radically change.
The experiments he conducted as a refugee in the United States would soon lead to an energy of unimaginable power and potential danger. This is his story.
