On the Nature of Things : The Scientific Photography of Fritz Goro
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Fritz Goro was the most influential photographer that science journalism (and science in general) has ever known--or ever will . . . "--Stephen Jay Gould, Author and Professor of Zoology and Geology, Harvard University
"Fritz Goro visited us in June 1946 to take pictures of the apparatus we employed in the plutonium section of our metallurgical laboratory. He was able to photograph successfully the ultra-microchemical equipment, including the tiny containers, the quartz fiber balance used to weigh the plutonium, and the plutonium itself. This was an extraordinary achievement; at the time, we described it as weighing an invisible sample with an invisible balance."--Glenn T. Seaborg, Nuclear Science Division, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley
"Fritz Goro was the person who, first in the world, documented the most important discoveries in medicine, physics, chemistry, and, not least, rocks from the moon for the rest of us. Thanks to his singular photographic techniques, and together with the most prominent scientists, he visualized processes and properties in cancer, the DNA molecule, holography, lasers, and the most powerful of modern technologies--nuclear science--in remarkable photographs that were taken from as early as the mid-1930s until 1986. These images were sensational then as now. No one has done them better!"--Lennart Nilsson, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden
