A Short History of Physics in the American Century
A Short History of Physics in the American Century | David C. Cassidy
2 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
As the twentieth century ended, computers, the Internet, and nanotechnology were central to modern American life. Yet the physical advances underlying these applications are poorly understood and underappreciated by U.S. citizens. In this overview, Cassidy views physics through America’s engagement with the political events of a tumultuous century.

Good read, but glossed over some discoveries and concepts that I would've liked to read more about. The topic was more interesting than I expected it to be, 3.5/5. For a more comprehensive review or some quotes from the book, visit the link on my page.
