Imagining Tomorrow History, Technology, and the American Future Ed. by
Joseph J. Corn. The MIT Press
Essays of varying quality, some dumb. Many authors do
not understand scientific bases of things they describe.
`Wasn't the Future of Nuclear Energy Wonderful?' by Stephen L.
Del Sesto. Unaware that radio-labeling has been and is being used in many
very impressive experiments. See p 72--"These goals would be achieved
through the use of so-called tagged atoms, essentially tracers that could
be followed through the human body....in language recalling the spiels of
the patent-medicine hucksters..."
The more historical they are, the better. Chapter on
radio interesting.
