REVIEW:
Teachers, students, or anyone interested in the field of physics
would profit from visiting this site. The exhibits offer teachers
and students interactive modules for learning about such prominent
physicists as Marie Curie and Albert Einstein and important research
including the discovery of the electron, global warming, and nuclear
fission. Additionally, the exhibits include eighteen mini-exhibits
featuring brief vignettes of famous physicists. The Emilio Segrè
Visual Archives offers more than 25,000 historical photographs,
drawings, slides, engravings, and other images, film and video materials.
These materials can be searched by name or browsed by alphabetical
order. Teachers can find sample syllabi, booklists, and links to
related information. Researchers can learn how to access the other
materials held at the Niels Bohr Library, such as the collection
of oral history interviews that includes over 3,000 hours of interviews
with some 1,500 physicists, astronomers, and others.
