With his knack for translating science into understandable,
anecdotal prose and his trademark dry humor, award-winning science
writer Charles Seife presents the first narrative account of the
history of fusion for general readers in more than a decade.
Tracing the story from its beginning into the twenty-first century,
Sun in a Bottle reveals fusion's explosive role in some of the
biggest scientific scandals of all time. Throughout this journey,
he introduces us to the daring geniuses, villains, and victims of
fusion science. With the giant international fusion project ITER
(International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) now under
construction, it's clear that the science of wishful thinking is as
strong as ever. This book is our key to understanding why.
