Want to get to know the history of nuclear power, spiced with interesting anecdotes? Then these two books are the right thing for you:
Atomic Awakening by James Mahaffey
and
Atomic by Jim Baggott
It's of course only one technology, but a technology from which very broad uses have sprung.
- jrkelly 13y agoThe Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes covers both the history of nuclear power and the rise of the US research complex (NSF, NIH, universities like MIT and Stanford). One of the best books I've ever read.
