"Electronics" provides a welcome, comprehensive history of one
of the late twentieth century's greatest technologies: electronic
devices. Some of them, the laser and the microchip for example,
have become household words. Yet their origins and operation are
largely unknown to the general public, remaining mysterious outside
the field of engineering. Their advent brought about many of the
most important historical developments in recent memory--the rise
of television, the Cold War, the Space Race, the growth of Asian
semiconductor manufacturers, and the emergence of the surveillance
society.
"Electronics" also relates the fascinating stories of how
scientists and engineers created and commercialized such devices as
the transistor, the Magnetron tube used to power microwave ovens,
the CRT (cathode ray tube), the laser, the first integrated
circuit, the microprocessor, and memory chips.
