Bøker av Joe Jaffe

This entertaining book consists of a collection of light-hearted stories, each of which can be read and enjoyed on its own. The story begins in 1948 when Chaim Weizmann recruited the author in London to help what was then the Sieff Institute develop chemical research based on new optical instruments used during the war. The book explains Chaim Weizmann''s passion for research and his passion to help create the State of Israel. Jaffe explains what it was like to be working at the Institute (1948-1968), by recreating the atmosphere and spirit of the now famous scientific institution, during its crucial formative years. The history and present activities of the Weizmann Institute of Science are outlined in an Appendix.
