Sun In a Bottle

Post by jcoady »

I picked up a copy of the book "Sun In a Bottle : The Strange History of Fusion and the Science of Wishful Thinking" from my local library recently. I found it to be a good book to read about the history of nuclear fusion.

Here is the New York Times review of the book.
