Andy Warhol: prince of pop by Jan Greenberg.
The bomb: a life by Gerard J. De Groot.
Bombs are as old as hatred itself. But it was the twentieth century - one hundred years of incredible scientific progress and terrible war - that brought forth the Big One, the Bomb, humanity's most powerful and destructive invention. In The Bomb: A Life, Gerard DeGroot tells the story of this once unimaginable weapon that - at least since 8:16 a.m. on August 6, 1945 - has haunted our dreams and threatened our existence.
