Synopsis

Project Sherwood: The U.S. Program In Controlled Fusion is a book written by Amasa S. Bishop that provides a comprehensive overview of the U.S. government's efforts to develop controlled nuclear fusion as a source of energy. The book covers the history of the project, from its inception in the 1950s to its eventual termination in the 1970s. It also explores the scientific and technical challenges faced by researchers working on the project, as well as the political and economic factors that shaped its development. The author draws on his own experiences as a physicist involved in the project, as well as interviews with other key figures, to provide a detailed and engaging account of this important chapter in the history of energy research. Overall, Project Sherwood is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of nuclear fusion and the role of government in scientific research.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
