| Zusammenfassung: | During World War II, nations raced to construct the world's first nuclear weapon that would determine the future of the world. The Manhattan Project, one of the most significant achievements of the 20th century, was the culmination of America's war effort. Today, although the issue of nuclear weapons frequently dominates world politics, few are aware of the history behind its development. Part I of this book, comprised of papers from the Atomic Heritage Foundation's Symposium on the Manhattan Project, recounts the history of this remarkable effort and reflects upon its legacy. Most of the original structures of the Manhattan Project have been inaccessible to the public and in recent years, have been stripped of their equipment and slated for demolition. Part II proposes a strategy for preserving these historical artifacts for the public and future generations. This book has been selected for coverage in : Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings); Index to Social Sciences & Humanities Proceedings (ISSHP / ISI Proceedings); Index to Social Sciences & Humanities Proceedings (ISSHP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings); and CC Proceedings - Engineering & Physical Sciences |
