Please log in for more thread options I'm breezing through David Bodanis's easy to read "Electric Universe", but came to something of a halt on pages 181-183 about the development of the transistor. Shockley was the inventor, right? Hardly, but he sure knew how to get the credit; however, in the most round-about way imaginable, he was probably singlehanded responsible for the rise of Silicon Valley. Quite a story on those several pages. (What a jerk!) Wayne T. Watson (Watson Adventures, Prop., Nevada City, CA) (121.015 Deg. W, 39.262 Deg.
