I had the joy of meeting Jim Ottaviani in Petoskey, MI in 2015, and he was an absolute joy. This is the third book of his that I've read, and again, he hits it out of the park. A graphic novel look at the life of Niels Bohr, one of the most important scientific minds of the 20th century, Suspended in Language explains some very complicated concepts in elegant ways.

amiekreger Was it at Booktopia? At McLean & Eakin. 6y
callielafleur @amiekreger Yup!!! One of my favorite locations for Booktopia. I loved the hotel and the bookstore. 6y
amiekreger I agree! I miss the good old days. Although I'm looking forward to Booktopia Vermont this year. (edited) 6y
callielafleur @amiekreger I miss going to Booktopia VT. Northshire is so lovely. The timing just doesn't work out for me, unfortunately. I try to make it out there semi regularly for my own mini Booktopia. It's not as fun! I just miss everybody. 6y

I had never heard about this before. In short, Niels Bohr had been given the Nobel medals of refugee friends for safe-keeping as the Nazis took hold in Europe. When Nazi control took Copenhagen, Bohr was forced to dissolve the medals, rather than let the Nazis take them. I can't imagine him this must have felt.

mabell Alchemy at work! So amazing and fulfilling to have the reaction reversed and the medals recast. I love that story ❤️ 6y
