"A comprehensive account of the history of one of the late 20th century's greatest technologies - the field of electron devices. Some of these devices, the laser, the television and the microchip for example, have become household words, but their origins and operation are largely unknown to the general public. Other devices that form the heart of important electronic systems are virtually unknown outside the field of engineering. Electronics is the first book to survey the histories of all these devices."--Back cover.

Gabriel, Joseph.
