• Life Atomic: A History of Radioisotopes in Science and Medicine Angela N. H. Creager University of Chicago Press (2013) The Manhattan Project's impact reverberated beyond the atomic bomb, reveals Angela Creager in this lucid scientific history. There is much to savour, from Jodrell Bank's use both in anti-Soviet defence and in tracking the Soviet satellite Sputnik; Lovell's risky, newly revealed 1963 visit to the Soviet Deep Space Network; and the observatory's latest role as control centre for the Square Kilometre Array radio telescopes.
