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. 000337448 650_0 $$aNuclear fusion$$xHistory. 000337448 85200 $$bgen$$hQC791$$i.S45$$i2008 000337448 85641 $$3Table of contents only$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0814/2008013135.html 000337448 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0906/2008013135-d.html 000337448 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:337448$$pGLOBAL_SET 000337448 980__ $$aBIB 000337448 980__ $$aBOOK
