Reviews

Fermilab will be of interest to anyone curious about science and science policy. (Physics World) Fermilab's story is well told and attractively framed in the book, a fitting capstone for the edifice of historical scholarship that the authors have erected over 30 years. Megascience requires 'megahistory,' and Hoddeson knows how to pioneer in that field. (Science)

Fermilab has the potential to be one of the very few studies in the history of American physics to integrate the aspects of technology, politics, and experimental practice with the evolving intellectual strains of high-energy physics. It will stand as something distinctive and superior to most institutional histories that have appeared to date. - Bruce Hevly, University of Washington
