Joseph D Martin Solid State Insurrection sku-318252048

In the paperback Solid State Insurrection: How the Science of Substance Made American Physics Matter, Joseph D Martin examines solid state physics in Cold War America. The book discusses how the field contributed technologies such as the transistor and magnetic resonance imaging while receiving less professional prestige and public attention than nuclear and particle physics.

Martin argues that its technological focus helped physics respond to social, political and economic pressures and sustain its cultural standing and policy influence. Listed under All Manuals & Guides. SKU: sku-318252048.
