Mahaffey 带着热情与诙谐的智慧，探寻了遥远岛屿上被遗忘的核反应堆，并发现了曾暴露于剧烈核裂变之下的树木——它们随后改变了性别，或在严冬中绽放。他解释了为什么我们有核潜艇却没有核动力飞机，以及为什么 cold fusion 并不存在且不可能存在。又有谁知道测算辐射曾几何时是一种时尚潮流？尽管人类核历史的某些篇章看似天方夜谭——例如牛仔们染指反应堆——Mahaffey 生动的文笔依然让读者深深沉醉于科学好奇心那极具感染力的能量之中

在《Atomic Adventures》里，James Mahaffey（我无保留推荐这位作者）梳理了冷聚变（Cold Fusion）的历史、主张以及存在的问题。他当年是最早尝试复现实验结果的团队成员之一，他指出……
In Atomic Adventures, James Mahaffey (who I unreservedly recommend) outlines the history, claims and problems with Cold Fusion. He was a member of one of the first teams to try to replicate the results, and points out that…
如果你喜欢了解这类内容，我强烈推荐 James Mahaffey 的《Atomic Adventures》。这本书讲述了各种疯狂的核能研究，大多发生在 50 到 70 年代，包括为了测试辐射对各种材料的影响而使用完全没有防辐射屏蔽的反应堆……
If you enjoy learning more about this sort of stuff, I'd highly recommend "Atomic Adventures" by James Mahaffey. The book recounts all sorts of crazy nuclear research, mostly from the 50s-70s, including using entirely unshielded reactors to test the effects of radiation on various materials,…
……曼哈顿计划，你会读到 1900 年至二战期间的整个欧洲历史，其中关于量子物理发展的篇幅会稍多一些。具体到日本的原子弹计划，我觉得 James Mahaffey 的《Atomic Adventures》讲得还要略好一些。彩蛋 1：你还能明白不明飞行物（UFO）的由来。彩蛋 2：你会看到关于第一次冷聚变惨败极其滑稽又心酸的第一手见闻。
…Manhattan project, you read about the entire history of Europe between 1900 and WW2, with a bit more focus on quantum physics developments. More specifically about the Japan's atomic program, I found "Atomic Adventures" by James Mahaffey to give a slightly better coverage. Bonus: you will also understand the origin of the UFOs. Bonus 2: you'll get a very funny/sad first hand account of the first cold fusion debacle.
今年读过的书里我评价最高的几本（我理解题目问的是这个意思）。* Simon Winchester 写的《Exactly: How Precision Engineers Created the Modern World》 * James Mahaffey 写的《Atomic Adventures: Secret Islands, Forgotten N-Rays, and Isotopic Murder-A Journey into the Wild World of Nuclear Science》 * Atul Gawande 写的《Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End》（最好的告别） * Vulcan……
The ones I rated highest out of those I read this year (which is what I think the question means). * Exactly: How Precision Engineers Created the Modern World by Simon Winchester * Atomic Adventures: Secret Islands, Forgotten N-Rays, and Isotopic Murder-A Journey into the Wild World of Nuclear Science by James Magaffey * Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End by Atul Gawande * Vulcan…
James Mahaffey 在《Atomic Adventures》（Pegasus 2018 年重印版）中写道：“关于公布的这一现象，有几点让我深感不安。Pons 和 Fleischmann 两人一再声称他们的装置正在产生‘巨大’的热量……”
James Mahaffey, Atomic Adventures (Pegasus:2018 Reprint): 'A couple of things about the announced phenomenon bothered me greatly. Both Pons and Fleischmann had claimed over and over that their apparatus was producing “tremendous” heat…
我针对这个做过一些调研。核工程师 James Mahaffey 在他的书《Atomic Adventures》里提到过一点：“专业级盖革计数器（比如 Eberline E-120）可以买到二手的，但通常不带探头组件销售，而探头正是在核设施频繁使用中最容易磨损老化的……
I did some research on this. James Mahaffey who is a nuclear engineer talks about this a bit in his book 'Atomic Adventures.': "Professional-grade Geiger counters, such as the Eberline E-120, are available as surplus, but they are usually sold without the probe assemble, which is what wears out when in constant use in a nuclear…
