War transformed 20th-century physics in sometimes subtle ways In Quantum Legacies: Dispatches from an Uncertain World, David Kaiser gives a witty and insightful overview of the development of modern physics. Through a series of previously published but carefully reedited essays, he explores how America's defense agenda has shaped physics research and education, from the ever-increasing size of research teams to the way we talk about quantum phenomena.
