Publisher's Synopsis

The extraordinary story of the Pons and Fleischmann "discovery" of cold fusion in Salt Lake City in 1988, the enormous world-wide media excitement their announcement generated, and the military, political and scientific response to their findings, findings that proved to be irreproducible across the globe and that were to be embarrassedly withdrawn only months later. This book is written by a prominent researcher in the field.

About the Publisher

Penguin Books

The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
