She was a remarkable woman, a friend to everyone who knew her, from her Indian companion Tilano, who was an elder of San Ildefonso, to Niels Bohr, Robert Oppenheimer, and the other atomic scientists who worked at Los Alamos during World War II."A finely told tale of a strange land and of a rare character who united with it and, without seeming to do anything to that end, exerted an unusual influence upon all other lovers of that soil with whom she came in contact. The quality of the country, of the many kinds of people, and of the central character come through excellently.â€?—Oliver La FargeIn-Stock: 3 Weight: 238g Subject Keywords: Humanities,History,Archaeology ISBN: 9780826302816 Genre: History & Archaeology (Historical) |
