Queisser's book is science and technology writing at its best. -- Mark J. Estren "High Technology Review" At once I fell under his literary spell...With wit and understanding, Queisser takes his readers through the tumultuous past decade, introducing the personalities and their scientific achievements that have marked this technological revolution...[An] excellent book. The special charm and uniqueness of Queisser's saga is that it is written by an insider, a distinguished scientist who left Germany in 1959 to work in Silicon Valley for William Shockley, the first great and controversial champion of semiconductors...It is a shout of joy for the great adventure of science. -- John Barker "Times Higher Education Supplement" Hans Queisser, physicist, joined Nobel Prize-winner William Shockley in 1959 in an old barn amid fruit orchards in Mountain View, California, to begin a new technology. The area is now the seat of an industrial empire--Silicon Valley.
