SCIENCE, ART AND COMMUNICATION

by John K. Pierce ‧ RELEASE DATE: June 1, 1968

Executive Director for the Research Communications Sciences Division of the Bell Telephone Laboratories, patent holder, inventor, author, John Pierce proves that way out is way in in an ingratiating, low-keyed collection of lectures and articles. He takes off with a memory of gliding in a California youth-he stopped when he was informed of the memorial to the casualties. ""We've got a place for everyone. We are saving a place for you."" He discusses communications via microwave radio relay and satellite (he had a hand in Echo); the social uses of science; science and art-and the computer as artist. Random reading for scientific Americans.
