Sommario/riassunto

Super Bomb unveils the story of the events leading up to President Harry S. Truman's 1950 decision to develop a "super," or hydrogen, bomb. That fateful decision and its immediate consequences are detailed in a diverse and complete account built on newly released archives and previously hidden contemporaneous interviews with more than sixty political, military, and scientific figures who were involved in the decision. Ken Young and Warner R. Schilling present the expectations, hopes, and fears of the key individuals who lobbied for and against developing the H-bomb. They portray the conflicts that arose over the H-bomb as rooted in the distinct interests of the Atomic Energy Commission, the Los Alamos laboratory, the Pentagon and State Department, the Congress, and the White House. But as they clearly



show, once Truman made his decision in 1950, resistance to the H-bomb opportunistically shifted to new debates about the development of tactical nuclear weapons, continental air defense, and other aspects of nuclear weapons policy. What Super-Bomb reveals is that in many ways the H-bomb struggle was a proxy battle over the morality and effectiveness of strategic bombardment and the role and doctrine of the US Strategic Air Command.

Sommario/riassunto

This book constitutes revised selected papers from the First International Conference on Agriculture-Centric Computation, ICA 2023, held in Chandigarh, India, in May 2023. The 18 papers were thoroughly reviewed and selected from the 52 submissions. They examine how computing disciplines such as big data analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, the Internet of Things (IoT), remote sensing, robotics, and drones can be applied to agriculture to address some of the biggest challenges facing the industry today, including climate change, food security, and environmental sustainability.
