Beam: The Race to Make the Laser
Hecht, Jeff (Freelance writer and correspondent, Freelance writer and correspondent, New Scientist)
Beam is the story of the three intense years from the birth of the laser idea to its breakthrough demonstration in a California laboratory. The quest was a struggle against physics, established wisdom, and the establishment itself. It is a fascinating tale of a remarkable and powerful invention that has become a symbol of modern technology.
