What The Reviewers Say
Arthur Turrell takes a good look at some of the 25 or so private fusion companies pushing towards commercialization, and appraises them alongside the public projects.
Turrell would have been well qualified to judge the prospects of these different fusion technologies, but he withholds his opinion, except for expressing mild skepticism about the most audacious claims.
[A] thoroughly researched, yet accessible book.
An expert account of the immense international research effort to develop practical nuclear fusion.
