Something Incredibly Wonderful Happens: Frank Oppenheimer and the World He Made Up (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt)
We're pleased to welcome Cole, who for many years was The LA Times' science writer, and she has also written for The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Smithsonian, Discover, Newsweek, Newsday, Esquire, Ms., People and many other publications, as well as a number of previous books. Her articles were featured in The Best American Science Writing 2004 and 2005 and The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2002. She has also been an editor at Discover and Newsday. Currently she is a Professor at the USC Annenberg School of Journalism. BUT -- even more importantly to us, she is the mother of one of prized staff members, Liz Janssen.
Her new book is the never-before-told story of Frank Oppenheimer, "uncle" of the atomic bomb, brother of Robert, creator of the revolutionary Exploratorium museum (in many ways his answer to the bomb) -- and the man responsible for Cole's own love affair with science.
