The Laser Odyssey
The world's first laser was created by Theodore Maiman on May 16, 1960. (see "Theodore Maiman" under Yahoo search). His breakthrough accomplishment changed the world as we know it.
In "The Laser Odyssey", Maiman takes his readers through a riveting expose of the Machiavellian scene behind the creation of the first laser. It is a personable chronicle of a maverick scientist who defied conventional wisdom while he blazed his own trail.
As he develops his story, Maiman interleaves the laser motif with revealing anecdotes and adventures.
