Combining in-depth research with first-hand interviews of key participants in the project, Thayer engagingly recounts an important aspect of America's race to develop atomic weapons. He describes the organization and management methods behind one of the major engineering achievements of the 20th century—the design and construction of the original plutonium-production plant at Hanford, Washington. Hanford's extraordinarily short and successful development is described and placed in the context of the contemporaneous crisis conditions: fear, urgency, and daunting uncertainties in science, engineering, procurement, and construction. The efforts of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, DuPont, and the Metallurgical Laboratory are described in depth, in addition to detailed discussions of the desperate nature of the crisis, labor conditions, technologies, and intangibles of those wartime years. Thayer pinpoints 38 principal reasons for Hanford's success; describes what the engineers, builders, and operators actually did; and presents figures and tables to illustrate the severely time-constrained problems of parallel development.

Mars 1938. Comme d'autres ouvrages du même type, le pont métallique de Hasselt s'effondre dans les eaux du canal Albert. Immédiatement, les Ponts et Chaussées créent la Section spéciale d'étude des matérieux métalliques chargée de cerner les causes de ces accidents. A partir de 1940, cette section spéciale est intégrée au bureau des Ponts. Jusqu'en 1980, elle est implantée au Val-Benoît, à l'Institut de génie civilde Liège où elle produit ses activités de contrôle et de recherches. Mai 1996. La division du Contrôle technique (I.G.42) - qui fait partie du Ministère Wallon de l'Equipement et des Transports - a succédé à la section liégeoise du bureau des Ponts. Elle a également intégré le personnel de l'ancienne section francophone de l'Institut géotechnique de l'Etat. Ensemble ces ingénieurs continuent de veiller à la qualité des ouvrages d'artexécutés pour le MET. Donc de jouer un rôle en vue dans le processus de développement technique. Ce livre retrace l'histoire de la division du Contrôle technique et, surtout, de ses devancières. Une histoire qui est celle - aussi - des techniques de construction des ouvrages d'art. Dans une seconde partie, cette publication détaille l'érection du nouveau bâtiment de l'I.G.42, connecté au premier sur le site de la Côte d'Or, à Liège-Sclessin. Un bâtiment qui allie esthétisme et fonctionnalité. Une infrastructure qui offre un cadre professionnel de qualité et qui constitue un gage indéniable de la performance des agents qui y travaillent. De leur épanouissement aussi.

John Servos explains the emergence of physical chemistry in America by presenting a series of lively portraits of such pivotal figures as Wilhelm Ostwald, A. A. Noyes, G. N. Lewis, and Linus Pauling, and of key institutions, including MIT, the University of California at Berkeley, and Caltech. In the early twentieth century, physical chemistry was a new hybrid science, the molecular biology of its time. The names of its progenitors were familiar to everyone who was scientifically literate; studies of aqueous solutions and of chemical thermodynamics had transformed scientific knowledge of chemical affinity. By exploring the relationship of the discipline to industry and to other sciences, and by tracing the research of its leading American practitioners, Servos shows how physical chemistry was eclipsed by its own offspring--specialties like quantum chemistry.
