"No one thing has changed our lives more--and promises to continue to do so--than the laser. Its applications, already too numerous to list, include CD read-outs, grocery store check-outs, medical imaging, and myriad industrial and military uses. The story of how the laser came about--thebackground, the physics, the sociology, and the personalities involved--are all told in this well-written and delightful book by one of the most important scientists of the century." --Andrew Sessler, Senior Scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and past President of the American PhysicalSociety, "'In the early days of the laser, people kidded me that it was a solution looking for a problem,' remarked Charles H. Townes, member of the faculty of the University of California at Berkeley. In 1964, Townes shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Soviet scientists Alexander Prokhorov andNicolai Basov for fundamental work in quantum electronics, which led to the construction of oscillators and amplifiers based on the maser-laser principle. . . . In Townes's view, the unexpected richness of the laser's history in science and engineering points up a vital lesson: 'As a society, wemust be sure we don't focus all efforts just on things we are sure will pay off economically. We need to devote some resources to exploring things that may revolutionize our understanding. We must continually emphasize that, and take the risk. . . .'"--IEEE Spectrum, [Townes's] ability to blend past achievements with the present brings a freshness of view in which his obvious excitement with some very recent breakthroughs in science and technology shines through very clearly ... I would recommend the reading of this autobiographical account to non-scientists as well as budding or established scientists., "In this delightful book, Nobel Laureate Charles Townes provides a highly personal look at some of the leading events in twentieth century physics. Townes was the co-inventor of the maser, the forerunner of the laser, and a pioneer of the study of gas clouds in inter-stellar space wherenatural masers and lasers were discovered. These memoirs trace his career from the beginnings on the family farm in South Carolina to his Nobel prize and beyond. There is fascinating material on Townes' interaction with other scientists and scientific managers and also about his long associationwith Bell Laboratories. We also learn about the trials and tribulations about getting a patent and the subsequent litigation that seems almost inevitable when large sums of money are at stake. This is a fascinating book and so well written that this reviewer read it from cover to cover in only twosittings."--Annals of Nuclear Energy, "Filled with personal anecdotes that provide insight into an immensely original thinker and scientist of enormous energy and prolific output....[Includes] a fascinating account of the patent disputes surrounding the maser and laser....[Provides] an inspiring case history of how an outstanding physicist got started and went on to do great science."--Steven Chu, cowinner of the 1997 Nobel Prize for Physics, in Physics Today "Captivating....In his plain-spoken fashion Townes makes the old verities vivid and resfreshing: the primacy of experiement over theory, the importance of teamwork, sharing ideas, keeping an open mind, and enjoying your work."-- Infinite Energy "An engaging human story, intertwined with a first-hand account of some of the twentieth century's most significant inventions and discoveries. Fine reading for anyone interested in science, scientists, or the roles they play in our fast-changing world." --Arno Penzias, Nobel Laureate in Physics and former Chief Scientist of Bell Labs "In this exciting book, Charles Townes recounts how masers and lasers first appeared in his life and how they accompanied him throughout his scientific career. The book reveals the life of an outstanding scientist deeply engaged in his research, and shows how a scientific career can be shaped by encounters, discussions, and interactions with colleagues, and by periods of solitary thinking and a commitment to independent work. The book is also a perfect illustration of the importance of basic science: when the laser was invented, no one expected it would have such dramatic applications." --Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, Professor of Atomic and Molecular Physics at the College de France in Paris and winner of the 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics "In this book one of the greatest scientists of the twentieth century tells the story of his life, discoveries, and inventions, which include the maser and the laser. Charles Townes's pioneering research in microwave spectroscopy produced a wealth of new information on molecules and even on the masses of atoms and the structure of their nuclei. These studies also made it possible to discover and understand spectra of molecules in space and near astronomical objects like stars. They helped to provide compelling evidence for a giant black hole at the center of our galaxy. Townes also tells of his involvement in advising the government and of the problems of trying to give unbiased scientific advice in a political atmosphere. In all, a fascinating story of science and the people who discover it. The book is hard to put down." --Arthur Schawlow, Nobel Laureate in Physics and Emeritus Professor at Stanford University, "Filled with personal anecdotes that provide insight into an immenselyoriginal thinker and scientist of enormous energy and prolificoutput....[Includes] a fascinating account of the patent disputes surroundingthe maser and laser....[Provides] an inspiring case history of how anoutstanding physicist got started and went on to do great science."--Steven Chu,cowinner of the 1997 Nobel Prize for Physics, in Physics Today, "In this book one of the greatest scientists of the twentieth centurytells the story of his life, discoveries, and inventions, which include themaser and the laser.

Fine reading for anyone interested in science, scientists, or the roles they play in our fast-changing world., "The 1964 Nobel Prized in Physics was awarded to Townes with Nikolai Basov and Alexander Prokhorov for 'fundamental work in quantum electronics which led to the production of oscillators and amplifiers according to the maser-laser principle.' The first maser was made to work by Townes in 1954,using ammonia to produce coherent microwave radiation. This led various groups to consider how to produce an oscillator operating in the visible part of the spectrum, as was ultimately achieved in 1960; the progenitor of the now ubiquitous laser. . . . This autobiography teaches one man's lessonfrom the life of science: 'Throughout my career I have had to convince others, including sponsors, to let me keep following my own instincts and interests. Very often, this pays off.' And, 'A good scientist ... must rely mainly and often stubbornly on his own judgment.'"--American Scientist, "In this exciting book, Charles Townes recounts how masers and lasersfirst appeared in his life and how they accompanied him throughout hisscientific career.

Such a book is How the Laser Happened by Nobel Laureate Charles Townes ... Townes did not invent the laser but, as a researcher, he certainly left his mark on twentieth century science. And the book certainly leaves the impression that Townes lived the life of a true scientist. Townes was the co-inventor of the maser (microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) with James Gordon, then a post-doctoral student at Columbia University ... But the book is not entirely concerned with the science of maser and laser development. Townes devotes an intriguing chapter to the various battles that were fought over the patents for the maser and the laser ... The book is subtitled, Adventures of a Scientist. Charles Townes' adventures make for a fascinating story of a true scientist., "An engaging human story, intertwined with a first-hand account of some of the twentieth century's most significant inventions and discoveries.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
