This is the memoir of a life devoted to scientific research. 330 $bIn How the Laser Happened, Nobel laureate Charles Townes provides a highly personal look at some of the leading events in twentieth-century physics. Townes was inventor of the maser, of which the laser is one example; an originator of spectroscopy using microwaves; and a pioneer in the study of gas clouds in galaxies and around stars. Throughout his career he has also been deeply engaged with issues outside of academic research. He worked on applied research projects forBell Labs; served on the board of directors for General Motors; and devoted extensive effort to advising the government on science, policy, and defense. This memoir traces his multifaceted career from its beginnings on the family farm in South Carolina. Spanning decades of ground-breaking research, the book provides a hands-on description of how working scientists and inventors get their ideas. It also gives a behind-the-scenes look at the scientific community, showing how scientists respond to new ideas and how they approach a variety of issues, from priority and patents to the social and political implications of their work. In addition,Townes touches on the sociology of science, uncovering some of the traditions and values that are invisible to an outsider. A towering and energetic figure, Townes has explored or pioneered most of the roles available to the modern scientist. In addition to fundamental research, he was actively involved in the practical uses of the laser and in the court cases to defend the patent rights. He was a founding member of the Jasons, an influential group of scientists that independently advises the government on defense policy, and he played an active part in scientific decisions and policies from the Truman through theReagan administration. This lively memoir, packed with first-hand accounts and historical anecdotes, is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of science and an inspiring example for students considering scientific careers. 606 $aLasers$xHistory 606 $aMasers$xHistory 606 $aScience and state$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aLasers$xHistory. 615 0$aMasers$xHistory. 615 0$aScience and state$xHistory. 676 $a621.36/6/09 700 $aTownes$b Charles H$050134 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827327303321 996 $aHow the laser happened$94096543 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04589nam 22007095 450 001 9910484194603321 005 20200919143602.0 010 $a3-319-17452-5 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-17452-5 035 $a(CKB)3710000000414312 035 $a(EBL)3565912 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001501338 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11848383 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001501338 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11522224 035 $a(PQKB)10611207 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-17452-5 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3565912 035 $a(PPN)186031165 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000414312 100 $a20150516d2015 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aArbitration and Dispute Resolution in the Resources Sector $eAn Australian Perspective /$fedited by Gabriël A.
