“The story of how Cornell survived and prospered as similar laboratories foundered is a fascinating one … Berkelman has a straightforward and clear style, and there are several interesting and enlightening illustrations … physicists who either know and/or love the Cornell that is the real hero of this book, or who wish to discover the reasons behind its remarkable and in many ways unique success, will find much food for thought in this interesting and valuable exposition.”
“High-energy physicists will learn much from this fascinating narrative.”
“Karl Berkelman has provided a wealth of fascinating information on the scientific, technical, financial and human aspects of this world-class but cost-effective endeavour, backed up by appendices containing detailed lists of the institutions and people involved and the resulting 300 publications. The book is well worth reading by anyone interested in how particle physics is actually done.”
