To the Moon and Back:
Essays on the Life and Times of Project Diana
On January 10, 1946, a tiny band of scientists bounced radio waves off the moon, marking the birth of radar astronomy, the first extraterrestrial communication, and the opening salvo in the Cold War, making headlines around the world. Written by the daughter of the team's scientific director, E. King Stodola, this book of essays covers not only the scientific achievement but also her childhood in Post World War II America and life in the Jersey Shore community where she grew up.
EDITORIAL REVIEW
"Interesting read for anyone interested in radar, lunar astronomy, radio, or post-war era American life. The book does a great job of demonstrating the buildup to and reasoning for the project.... Pomerleau's unique perspective and voice bring life to an otherwise largely unknown segment of history."
