      abstract = {The author of Zero chronicles the last half century's  haphazard attempt to harness fusion energy, describing how  governments and research teams throughout the world have  employed measures ranging from the controversial to the  humorous, in an account that introduces us to the daring  geniuses, villains, and victims of fusion science: the  brilliant and tortured Andrei Sakharov; the monomaniacal  and Strangelovean Edward Teller; Ronald Richter, the  secretive physicist whose lies embarrassed an entire  country; and Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann, the two  chemists behind the greatest scientific fiasco of the past  hundred years. Sun in a Bottle is the first major book to  trace the story of fusion from its beginnings into the 21st  century, of how scientists have gotten burned by trying to  harness the power of the sun.},
