Part 3: Appendix
Reiner Braun studied German Literature, History and Journalism.
Since 1982, he has been actively involved in the Peace Movement,
working as Executive Director for Scientist for Peace and
Sustainability (Germany) and the International Network of Engineers
and Scientists for Global Responsibility (INES). Since 2004, Reiner
Braun has been working for various projects related to the Einstein
Year 2005 at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in
Berlin and for the Max Planck Society.
Robert A. Hinde, CBE, FRS, FBA, took a degree in biology at the
University of Cambridge and a D.Phil. at the University of Oxford.
He was later awarded a Royal Society Research Professorship, and
worked at Cambridge on animal behaviour using monkeys as models for
assessing the effects of brief periods of maternal deprivation.
Since the mid-seventies he worked on human personal relationships,
with special reference to the relationships between individuals in
human families. He was Master of St. John's College, Cambridge,
from 1989-1994, and since then has written on the bases of religion
and morality in human nature, and on the causes of international
war. He is Chair of the British Pugwash Group.
David Krieger received his Ph.D. in political science from the
University of Hawaii. He is a founder of the Nuclear Age Peace
Foundation and has served as its president since 1982. He has
initiated many global projects seeking peace in the Nuclear Age and
the abolition of nuclear weapons, and provided leadership to these
projects. He is the author and editor of numerous books on peace,
disarmament and global security.
Harold Kroto received a B.Sc. (Chemistry, 1961) and a Ph.D.
(Molecular Spectroscopy, 1964) from the University of Sheffield,
England. After postdoctoral work at the National Research Council
(Ottawa, Canada) and Bell Telephone Laboratories (Murray Hill, NJ
USA) he started his academic career at the University of Sussex,
England, in 1967. He became a professor in 1985 and a Royal Society
Research Professor in 1991. In 1996 he was knighted for his
contributions to chemistry and later that year, together with
Robert Curl and Richard Smalley (of Rice University, Houston,
Texas), received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for the discovery of
C60 Buckminsterfullerene, a new form of carbon.
Sally Milne graduated in Modern History from the University of
Exeter, England, in 1964. She worked in the World Bank Division of
the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in
Rome, Italy, then returned to the UK to pursue her professional
career in education and training. From 1992 to 2002, she edited
papers for the Pugwash Conferences, and went on to become Personal
Assistant to Professor Sir Joseph Rotblat until 2005. She is
currently the Executive Secretary for British Pugwash and brought
the US PeaceJam Education Programme to the UK in 2006.
"An important book." (CHOICE, January 2008) ‘…fascinating sets of
essays…good place for life scientists to begin considering their
dual-use problem and what might be best done about it.’ (Nature,
26th July 2007)
"Die vorliegende Sammlung, von dem deutschen
Wissenschaftsjournalisten Reiner Braun mitherausgegebenen, enthält
mit ihren kurzen Essays von Freunden und Kollegen zahlreiche
Würdigungen und auch private Erinnerungen?"
DAAD Literatur Letter
Dezember 2007
"Das Buch befasst sich ausgiebig mit Rotblats rastlosen
Bestrebungen, den nuklearen Geist wieder in die Flasche zu
bekommen."
Physik Journal
Dezember 2007
"Man hätte das Wesentliche auf wenigen Seiten übermitteln können.
Unangenehm aufgefallen ist mir, was dagegen alles nicht in diesem
Buch steht?"
