[Tippy · Rating 3 out of 5]

a very good read, and started off strongly. i never thought i would understand what tokamaks are and the differences between nuclear fusion and fission. the last few chapters became VERY repetitive - seems a bit rushed and definitely could have been revised with an editor, which is a shame because this is where all the drama was re:cold fusion. i really appreciated the implications section, seemed very well thought out and ahead of it's time and not wholly unrealistic. author did their best to give a balanced view as well, i expected a thorough dismissal of the findings, but instead i got the rationale behind what could have/couldn't have been (though, again, repetitive).

A very interesting discussion of the emergence of cold fusion and its possible future as an energy source.

[Marc · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting to read a book published in the midst of the Cold Fusion frenzy (1989). The authors predictions on what the future could hold are introduced with due scientific caution but go on to become extravagant (communities on the moon).
