| Technology | Radar |
In "a technological thriller better than Tom Clancy's best" (Richard Rhodes, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Making of the Atomic Bomb), Robert Buderi chronicles the previously untold story of one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs of this century-radar. From the radar systems that enabled Allied forces in World War II to hunt down U-boats and "see" at night to such postwar achievements as the emergence of radio astronomy and the discovery of the transistor and nuclear magnetic resonance, the work at MIT's Radiation Lab has had a tremendous impact on our lives. In this remarkable book, Robert Buderi presents in-depth, completely accessible descriptions of these triumphs and technological advances and introduces the brilliant band of scientist, many of them Nobel Prize-Winners, who carried out this revolution. SC, 575 pages.
