Synopsis

From this unique collection of documents emerges a fresh, intimate, often striking picture of the life of science in the United States in the era when American investigators became central to scientific advances in many fields. Written in the course of the events described, these letters, memoranda, and other records--for the most part previously unpublished--convey personalities and issues with an immediacy hard to capture in conventional historical narratives.
