De triomf en tragedie van de vader van de atoombom.

De Pulitzer Prize-winnende biografie van J. Robert Oppenheimer, directeur van het Manhattan Project en ‘vader van de atoombom’, die de inspiratie was voor de succesvolle film Oppenheimer  een geweldige, spannende combinatie van wetenschap, wereldgeschiedenis en politiek

J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904-1967) was een briljant natuurkundige en directeur van het Manhattan Project: de geheime ontwikkeling van de atoombom tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. De bombardementen op Hiroshima en Nagasaki maakten hem de beroemdste wetenschapper van zijn generatie en een van de meest iconische maar ook omstreden figuren van de twintigste eeuw. Dit boek volgt Oppenheimer vanaf zijn opleiding onder de bekendste fysici van zijn tijd, naar Berkeley, Californië, waar hij de eerste Amerikaanse school voor theoretische natuurkunde oprichtte en nauw betrokken raakte bij verschillende links-activistische bewegingen, die ook veel communisten aantrokken. Vervolgens naar Los Alamos, New Mexico, waar hij een woestijnvlakte transformeerde in een kernwapenlaboratorium waarna hij de geschiedenis in ging als de vader van de atoombom.

Na de oorlog nam Oppenheimer het hoogleraarschap aan Princeton over van Albert Einstein en werkte hij als politiek adviseur. In die rol maakte hij zich hard voor internationale controle op nucleair materiaal, verzet tegen de waterstofbom en tegen kernoorlog in het algemeen. Door die revolutionaire standpunten, in combinatie met zijn vermeende banden met het communisme, haalde Oppenheimer zich in de aanloop naar de Koude Oorlog de woede van invloedrijke nucleaire pleitbezorgers op de hals, onder wie atoomenergie-commissionair Lewis Strauss, waterstofbomontwikkelaar Edward Teller en FBI-directeur J. Edgar Hoover, die een hoorzitting organiseerden wegens de verdenking van landverraad.

Oppenheimer is een meeslepend portret van een briljante, ambitieuze en complexe man wiens werk een vernietigend einde maakte aan de Tweede Wereldoorlog, en het begin vormde van de Koude Oorlog. Een biografie en geschiedenisboek ineen, en bovenal een essentieel boek om inzicht te krijgen in ons recente verleden en onze keuzes voor de toekomst.

Looks and feels great. Amazingly smooth, and well-crafted. It fits the length of my keyboard, and has quality grippers on the base to prevent sliding. Was actually really pleased with it.

High quality solid wood rest
Size: 14.4"L x 3.15"W x 0.78"H, Color: Black Walnut
This wrist rest is nicely finished and was well packed in high-density foam as well as a cardboard box that was wrapped very tightly in thick plastic. It's sanded very, very smooth and is made of beautiful solid walnut, with nonskid pads on the back. The branding is on the side that touches the keyboard, so it is not visible or obtrusive at all. My keyboard is 15.5 inches long, and the 14.4 inch rest looks great up against it. The 0.78" thickness is also very suitable for the thickness of my keyboard. The product gets 5 stars because it is accurately represented and this is entirely down to personal preference, but something about this rest that I don't love is the degree of incline. I have my keyboard up on the kickstands, and the wrist rest that I already owned slopes pretty dramatically starting from the middle, so it follows the angle of the keyboard. The ZQL wrist rest is about 75% flat and then has a small slope that rounds off on the bottom edge. Again, this is very much a personal thing; I just brought it up because it's something that people might not think too much about until they actually use it. I think this rest would be great for anyone with very large hands, or with a flat keyboard. It's taking a little getting used to for me, but I really enjoy the smoothness and obvious quality of the wood. A wrist rest is an ergonomic must when it comes to thicker keyboards.

Nice. I like that the wood feels cool to the touch

A nice little wooden wrist rest. I would suggest not using it as a wrist rest, but use it more as a palm rest, because if you are having pain, putting more pressure on those wrist tendons is not gonna help. Quality of the item is good. My biggest worry about wooden wrist rests is that they'll not be sanded well, or not smooth, and you'll get a sliver or catch your skin on a piece. Second biggest worry is that they will be slippery, and slide around the desk, or just be covered with a coating or finish that is sticky for human skin. I'm happy to say, that this didn't have those issues. Mine is smooth, and made of dense wood. It doesn't feel cheap and made with hollow wood. There are no burs or slivers. It's not lacquered or sticky for your hands. It doesn't stain my hands when in use. And it has rubber feet to help grip, so it doesn't slide around. One benefit to having a wood wrist rest, is that it stays "cool" to the touch longer than cloth or gel pads. But, at the same time, one heated, it takes longer to cool back down. I've found that I quite like the cool sensation that is unique to wood. I'm happy with it and the overall quality.

Great looking wrist rest but lacks strong grip
The walnut wood looks and feels great and gives my desk setup a more premium look. The dimensions are as described on the product page. I have no doubt this wrist rest will last a long time given how solid and well made it is. The only downside is that it tends to move around a bit more than my old silicon wrist rest. The grip on the bottom isn’t as strong so I find myself readjusting it occasionally when gaming. Overall, recommended.
