This is another book which I remember vividly reading many years ago, and nearly idolizing the team from Bell Labs that accidentally stumbled upon the background radiation of the universe, and if I recall correctly, also gave us the closest practical example we have to anything reaching almost Zero degrees Kelvin. This book deserves to be read again, and with care, as it explained a great many things, like the accidental discovery of important techniques and how researchers and experimenters need the leeway to take the time to follow up even seemingly unrelated ideas sometimes, contrary to our modern rushed and hurried short-term way of looking at outcomes.

Bell Laboratories is one of the world's leading research centres. Bell scientists have won seven Nobel prizes in, physics, more than any other single institution in the world. In this engrossing book - a blend of popular science, and history -Jeremy Bernstein guides us on a fascinating tour of the labs, introducing us to the men and women who have been responsible for some of the greatest scientific advances of this century, in computers and computation, solid state physics (including the invention and development of the transistor); communications, and in astrophysics.

That speculation aside this snapshot of the lab is fascinating. Now I need to read the more contemporary version: The Idea Factory.
History is interesting because it is a good story. Sometimes we also can learn from it, but the lessons aren't always clear. ( )
