Inhaltsangabe

Project Sherwood: The U.S. Program in Controlled Fusion is a comprehensive book that explores the history and development of the United States' efforts to harness the power of nuclear fusion. Written by Amasa S. Bishop, a physicist who was involved in the project, the book provides a detailed account of the scientific, political, and social factors that shaped the program from its inception in the 1950s to its eventual termination in the 1970s.The book covers a wide range of topics related to fusion research, including the scientific principles behind fusion reactions, the technological challenges of building a fusion reactor, and the political and economic factors that influenced the project's funding and support. It also delves into the personal stories of the scientists and engineers who worked on the project, providing insight into their motivations, struggles, and achievements.Overall, Project Sherwood is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of nuclear energy and the challenges of scientific research on a grand scale. It offers a unique perspective on the U.S. government's efforts to pursue controlled fusion as a potential source of clean, sustainable energy, and sheds light on the complex interplay between science, politics, and society in the pursuit of scientific progress.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
