商品簡介
Sometime during the 20th century, science moved from small laboratories of individual researchers and a few colleagues or students, to vast complexes with hundreds and sometimes thousands of workers. Hughes (history of science and technology, U. of Manchester, UK) follows others by finding the fulcrum of the change in the British and American mission to develop nuclear weapons during World War II. He describes how the Manhattan Project was conducted at huge sites across the US from 1943 to 1945. He suggests further reading, but does not index his work.
