Their Day in the Sun
The public perception of the making of the atomic bomb is an image of the dramatic efforts of a few brilliant male scientists.
After the War
This book examines the lives and contributions of American women physicists who were active in the years following World War II, during the middle decades of the 20th century. It covers the strategies they used to survive and thrive in a time where their gender was against them. The percentage of PhD’s in physics has risen for 6% in 1983 to 20% in 2012 (an all-time high for women). By understanding the history of women in physics, these gains can continue. It discusses to major classes of women physicists; those who worked on military projects, and those who worked in industrial laboratories and at universities largely in the late 1940s and 1950s. While it includes minimal discussion of physics and physicists in the 1960s and later, this book focuses on the challenges and successes of women physicists in the years immediately following World War II and before the eras of affirmative actions and the use of the personal computer.

Women and the Use of Military Force
The authors examine theoretical approaches, particularly feminist approaches, to women's use of physical force and present data on the role women actually play in using military force, both as policymakers and as implementers.
The Energy Sourcebook
Of interest to environmentalists, scientists, teachers and students everywhere. ASLIB Book List A compendium of information on the sources and uses of energy. Provides the scientific groundwork for understanding the issues and questions involved. The book will be of interest to anyone involved in energy as public policy legislators, policy makers, regulators, conservationists, scientists.
Beyond Rosie
Collection of primary source documents, which include photographs, official reports, editorials, executive orders, radio broadcast scripts, letters and oral histories, detailing the experiences and contributions of American women during World War II.

Chapter 2 deals with women who found employment in white-collar professions, such as law, journalism, clerical work and medicine. Chapter 3 traces women's service in military auxiliary units. Chapter 4 focuses on women's domestic labor on the home front. Chapter 5 documents the secret war waged by the government including its use of women as spies and saboteurs.
Making and Sustaining Changes in Undergraduate Physics Programs at Research Universities
Based on the proceedings of the : Strategic Programs for Innovation in Undergraduate Physics (SPIN-UP) workshop held at Rutgers University, June 4-6, 2010, which focused on the current state of undergraduate physics programs in research-intensive departments. --page 1 of report.
Vengeful Citizens, Violent States
Develops a novel theory of war and revenge with far-reaching implications for the role of individuals in international relations.
