The Manhattan Project, one of the most significant achievements of the 20th century, was the culmination of America's war effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, although the issue of nuclear weapons frequently dominates world politics, few are aware of the history behind its development. Part I of this book, comprised of papers from the Atomic Heritage Foundation's Symposium on the Manhattan Project, recounts the history of this remarkable effort and reflects upon its legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost of the original structures of the Manhattan Project have been inaccessible to the public and in recent years, have been stripped of their equipment and slated for demolition. Part II proposes a strategy for preserving these historical artifacts for the public and future generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book has been selected for coverage in:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Index to Scientific \u0026amp; Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version \/ ISI Proceedings)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Index to Social Sciences \u0026amp; Humanities Proceedings® (ISSHP® \/ ISI Proceedings)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Index to Social Sciences \u0026amp; Humanities Proceedings (ISSHP CDROM version \/ ISI Proceedings)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• CC Proceedings — Engineering \u0026amp; Physical Sciences\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePart I: A Report on the Proceedings:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA History Worth Preserving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Manhattan Project — A Millennial Transformation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Allies and the Atomic Bomb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Military and Science in the Crucible of War\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaking from Experience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLessons of the Manhattan Project for the 21st Century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosing Reflections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePart II: A Plan for Preserving the Manhattan Project:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreserving America: A Strategy for the Manhattan Project\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross-Cutting Recommendations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreservation Strategies for the Manhattan Project: Two Options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Scientists, historians, public policy makers, educators and students as well as members of the general public.\u003cbr\u003eHistory of the Manhattan Project;Second World War;Preserving America\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWill engage students and a broad national audience interested in the top-secret effort in WWII to create the world's first atomic bomb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes compelling articles by Pulitzer Prize winner Richard Rhodes, \u003ci\u003eThe Making of the Atomic Bomb\u003c\/i\u003e, Gregg Herken, \u003ci\u003eBrotherhood of the Bomb\u003c\/i\u003e, Robert Norris, \u003ci\u003eRacing for the Bomb\u003c\/i\u003e, and five other notable historians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185291772144,"sku":"9789814481786","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814481786_p0.jpg?v=1763691321","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814481786","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
