1 comments about From Trotsky to Gödel.
- From Trotsky to Godel: The Life of Jean van Heijenoort is the true-life biography of a man in a prime position to observe twentieth-century turmoil. He served as a secretary and bodyguard to Leon Trotsky, and was intellectually and politically passionate; in his maturity, he contributed greatly to the realm of abstract philosophical logic. From Trotsky to Godel draws heavily upon interviews with van Heijenoort himself, as well as his friends, family, and colleagues. Enthusiastically recommended for anyone interested in following van Heijenoort's challenging life, and also for students of Trotsky seeking to round out their perspectives on the man and his writings.

1 comments about Henry Norris Russell.
- This is an exceptionally important work on the history of astronomy written by one of the top historians of modern astronomy in the United States. David H. DeVorkin, a friend and colleague of mine at the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum, has written a path breaking book that deals with one of the most important astronomers of the twentieth century. Henry Norris Russell (1857-1957) was a member of the astronomy department at Princeton University and an expert on binary stars and solar evolution. He was a leading astrophysical theorist. Russell also wrote a column for Scientific American that brought an understanding of astronomy to the public and served as a mentor to a generation of astronomers. He also gained a reputation as a public intellectual, commenting in a variety of settings on science, religion, and society.
DeVorkin's important scholarly biography is the first work of its type on Russell, and a benchmark in the historiography of American astronomy. It was warmly received by historians of science. Joann Eisberg, reviewing the book for Isis, led her review thus: "David DeVorkin's volume is surely the definitive biography of one of America's most important astronomers. It is a must-read for historians of astronomy, and it is more than that" (Isis 92, No. 3 (2001): 625-26). Other reviewers made similar comments. One cannot hope to understand the development of astronomy in the United States during the twentieth century without reading DeVorkin's Henry Norris Russell biography, and it is standard fare on every graduate reading list on the subject.
