Edward Teller (January 15, 1908 – September 9, 2003) was a Hungarian-American theoretical physicist who is known colloquially as "the father of the hydrogen bomb" (see the Teller–Ulam design). Born in Hungary in 1908, Teller emigrated to the United States in the 1930s. He made numerous contributions to nuclear and molecular physics, spectroscopy (in particular the Jahn–Teller and Renner–Teller effects), and surface physics. In 1953, along with Nicholas Metropolis, Arianna Rosenbluth, Marshall Rosenbluth, and his wife Augusta Teller, Teller co-authored a paper that is a standard starting point for the applications of the Monte Carlo method to statistical mechanics. Teller was an early member of the Manhattan Project, charged with developing the first atomic bomb. He co-founded the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and was both its director and associate director for many years. Teller continued to find support from the U.S. government and military research establishment, particularly for his advocacy for nuclear energy development, a strong nuclear arsenal, and a vigorous nuclear testing program. Teller became especially known for his advocacy of technological solutions to both military and civilian problems, including a plan to excavate an artificial harbor using thermonuclear explosive in what was called Project Chariot, and the Strategic Defense Initiative. Teller was a recipient of numerous awards, including the Enrico Fermi Award and Albert Einstein Award. More

Dallas, TX: Texas Instruments, [1973?]. First Edition. Hardcover. 26 cm, 768 pages. Partial label with name stuck to front board, minor scuffing and soiling at the edges. Texas Instruments is pleased to catalog important power semiconductor products available in the industry, and to present technical information on Tl's broad line of power transistors, thyristors, and power function products. Most of the silicon power devices, as well as a broad range of SCR's and Triacs, are offered in Tl's specially designed plastic packages. These designs incorporate glass-passivated junctions with thermally-matched epoxy and piece-parts, for high reliability—plus the adaptability for high-volume, cost-effective production. The data book indices are designed for ease in location of data sheets for specific products, as well as general information categories. The Power Semiconductor Data Book for Design Engineers represents Tl experience since the early 1950's in the design and manufacture of power semiconductor products. More

Alvin Toffler (October 4, 1928 – June 27, 2016) was an American writer, futurist, and businessman known for his works discussing modern technologies, including the digital revolution and the communication revolution, with emphasis on their effects on cultures worldwide. In his early works he focused on technology and its impact, which he termed "information overload." In 1970 his first major book about the future, Future Shock, became a worldwide best-seller. He and his wife Heidi Toffler, who collaborated with him for most of his writings, moved on to examining the reaction to changes in society with another best-selling book, The Third Wave in 1980. He foresaw such technological advances as cloning, personal computers, the Internet, cable television and mobile communication. Toffler's ideas and writings were a significant influence on the thinking of business and government leaders worldwide. More
