{"product_id":"9781780747460","title":"Half Life : The Divided Life of Bruno Pontecorvo, Physicist or Spy","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe memo landed on Kim Philby's desk in Washington, DC, in July 1950. Three months later, Bruno Pontecorvo, a physicist at Harwell, Britain's atomic energy lab, disappeared without a trace. When he re-surfaced six years later, he was on the other side of the Iron Curtain. One of the most brilliant scientists of his generation, Pontecorvo was privy to many secrets: he had worked on the Anglo-Canadian arm of the Manhattan Project, and quietly discovered a way to find the uranium coveted by nuclear powers. Yet when he disappeared MI5 insisted he was not a threat. Now, based on unprecedented access to archives, letters, surviving family members and scientists, award-winning writer and physics professor Frank Close exposes the truth about a man irrevocably marked by the advent of the atomic age and the Cold War.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oneworld Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42586783514699,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":1711.35,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/0023\/7387\/files\/9781780747460-1.jpg?v=1783472379","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.co.th\/products\/9781780747460","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Thailand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
