具体描述
When basic researchers started working on semiconductors during the late nineteen thirties and on integrated circuits at the end of the nineteen fifties, they did not know that their work would change the lives of future generations. Very few people at that time recognized the significance of, perhaps, the most important invention of the century. Historians have assigned the invention of integrated circuits to Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce. In this book, the author argues that the group of inventors was much larger. This richly illustrated account is a personal recollection of the development of integrated circuits and personalities such as Russell Ohl, Karl Lark-Horovitz, William Shockley, Carl Frosch, Lincoln Derick, Calvin Fuller, Kurt Lehovec. Jean Hoerni, Sheldon Roberts, Jay Last, Isy Haas, Bob Norman, Dave Allison, Jim Nall, Tom Longo, Bob Widlar, Dave Talbert, Frank Wanlass, and Federico Faggin. Here is the first comprehensive behind-the-scenes account of the history of the integrated circuit, the microelectronics industry, and the people closely involved in the development of the transistor and the integrated circuit. </P>
"Your book is going to make a major contribution to semiconductor history. You and I agree that, while the world loves a hero, semiconductor progress depended on the efforts and ideas of a large number of people, and that moving forward depended on contributors going back a few decades in some cases. Also, as is the case with most inventions, a number of people with access to the same pool of common knowledge were working independently at the same time to put it all together and to make the necessary extensions to the existing technology and who realized that the time was right for society to accept the new concepts. Your diligent research points all of this out."</P>
Dr. Jay Last, Former Shockley Laboratories employee, co-founder of Fairchild Semiconductor, co-founder of Amelco Semiconductor, and manager of Fairchilds group which designed and produced the world first planar integrated circuit.</P>
"Bo Lojek presents a remarkable document of the most important and significant technical development of our times. He describes in astounding detail the engineering efforts of modern microelectronics. He concentrates on the history of silicon semiconductor devices. Californias "Silicon Valley" is the center of attention, together with its ancestry of transistor invention at Bell Laboratories. He has collected a wealth of illustrative documentation, gives incisive insight into the lives of the main actors and shows the often tragic fates of the engineers and businessmen. He does not hide his firm belief in the individual engineer and warns of the retarding influence of present-day political correctness."</P>
Dr. Hans J. Queisser, Former Shockley Semiconductor scientist and retired director of the Max-Planck-Institute for Solids, Stuttgart, Germany. </P>
"The technical history of the semiconductor history rivals the 1849 California Gold Rush as a period filled with excitement and opportunity. Although I cannot first hand validate its complete accuracy, I enthusiastically encourage you to read the collected facts, opinions, and views of an author who was actually part of this amazing period, viewing it as a successful practicing Engineer during this "gold rush" - like hey-day of the semiconductor industry. </P>
For educators and technologists you will find this collection of data, facts, and opinions, collected and observed first hand by the author, fascinating! It is a tough read for others due to the writing experience of the author and its technical focus."</P>
John F. Gifford, Former Fairchild Semiconductor Marketing Manager of Linear Integrated Circuits, co-founder of Advanced Micro Devices, and President and Chief Executive Officer of Maxim Integrated Products.</P>
"Bo Lojek gets it right! There are few industries as dynamic as semiconductors and the history of the semiconductor industry is still unfolding. This book gives the history of people, places and technology that resulted in todays semiconductor industry. I particularly like the inclusion of many technical pieces in the book."</P>
Robert Dobkin, Former National Semiconductor Director of Advanced Circuit Development and co-founder and Chief Technical Officer of Linear Technology Corporation. </P>

要形容我对这部作品的感受，‘震撼’或许都不足以表达其万一。这本书的叙述视野极其开阔，它跨越了地理和时间上的鸿沟，将看似毫不相关的文明进程巧妙地编织在一起。作者在比较不同文明对“秩序”和“权威”的理解时，所展现出的洞察力令人拍案叫绝。他没有采用西方中心主义的视角来评判一切，而是努力去理解每一个历史选择背后的内在逻辑和文化合理性。特别是书中对权力交接仪式和符号意义的解读，细腻到令人发指，仿佛透过文字，我能看到那些古老的王冠和旗帜所承载的集体潜意识。书中引用的文献和一手资料极其丰富，但作者的处理方式非常高明，它们不是生硬地堆砌，而是自然而然地融入到行文之中，为论点提供了坚实的支持。这本书极大地挑战了我过去对“宏大叙事”的理解，它证明了历史的深度并非来源于事件的数量，而在于对事件背后驱动力量的精准把握。这是真正意义上的世界史，一卷值得反复阅读的智慧之书。
评分这是一本需要静下心来，伴着一杯热茶细细品读的书籍。它的魅力并不在于讲述那些惊天动地的战争场面，而是在于对人类社会结构演变过程中那些微妙力量的捕捉与描摹。作者对经济基础与上层建筑之间互动关系的探讨，可以说是全书的灵魂所在。他用详实的数据和生动的案例，清晰地揭示了财富分配方式的变化如何一步步重塑了政治权力版图。我特别喜欢其中关于“技术接受度与社会阻力”这一章节的论述，它展现了任何社会变革都不是一蹴而就的，总会有保守的力量和革新的动力进行漫长而微妙的拉锯战。阅读这本书的过程，更像是一次与时代巨人的深度对话，那些远去的声音，通过作者的笔触重新鲜活起来，带着他们那个时代的焦虑、智慧与局限性。它促使我反思我们自己所处的时代，我们所珍视的“进步”是否也有其潜在的代价和盲区。这是一部极具批判性和启发性的作品，读完之后，会让人对周遭的一切产生更深一层的敬畏感。
评分这部作品无疑是一部引人入胜的史诗，它带领读者穿越了人类文明发展中那些至关重要的转折点，描绘了一幅幅波澜壮阔的社会变迁图景。作者的叙事功力令人叹服，他不仅仅是在罗列历史事件，更是在挖掘事件背后的深层驱动力与复杂的人性博弈。书中对不同文化区域在特定历史时期所采取的策略进行了细致入微的比较分析，这种跨视角的审视极大地拓宽了我的历史认知边界。尤其欣赏作者在处理争议性历史人物和事件时所展现出的审慎和平衡，他没有急于给出简单的定论，而是倾向于呈现多方证据和解释，引导读者自己去形成判断。阅读过程中，我仿佛置身于那个风云变幻的年代，真切地感受到决策者们所承受的巨大压力以及普通民众在历史洪流中的挣扎与希望。无论是对古代帝国兴衰的宏观把握，还是对某一关键战役或条约签订细节的微观刻画，都显示出作者扎实的学识和严谨的研究态度。这本书不仅是知识的积累，更是一场关于理解人类社会复杂性的深刻对话，非常值得那些对宏大叙事和人文关怀有深刻追求的读者细细品味。
评分读完这部鸿篇巨著，我最大的感受是，历史不再是教科书上那些僵硬的日期和人物列表，而是一锅沸腾了无数哲思、欲望和偶然性的浓汤。这本书的叙事节奏把握得极佳，时而快刀斩乱麻，勾勒出时代巨变的轮廓；时而又放慢脚步，聚焦于某个关键人物内心世界的挣扎。作者在处理那些“历史的岔路口”时，展现了惊人的想象力和严谨的论证力——如果当时的选择稍有不同，世界将会是何番景象？这种假设性的推演，并非空穴来风，而是建立在对前期所有社会、政治、气候因素的充分考量之上的。我尤其欣赏作者在描述社会思潮演变时所使用的那种文学化的笔触，使得那些抽象的哲学概念也变得触手可及，充满了人性的温度。这本书不仅是一部历史记录，更像是一部关于人类如何学习、如何遗忘、如何在重复中寻找微小进步的生存指南。它让我明白，理解过去，远比我们想象的要复杂，也远比我们想象的更有价值。
评分我不得不说，这本关于世界进程的编年史，其深度和广度都远远超出了我的预期。作者似乎拥有一种魔力，能将看似枯燥的年代事件串联成一条条富有张力的叙事线索。最让我印象深刻的是其对“看不见的手”——即那些非主流思想、底层运动或边缘群体——如何在关键时刻影响历史走向的独到见解。书中对知识分子群体在思想启蒙运动中所扮演角色的剖析尤其精彩，那些关于自由、理性与权利的辩论，即使放在今天来看，依然振聋发聩。全书的论证结构非常清晰，逻辑链条环环相扣，让你在跟随作者的思路前进时，鲜少感到迷茫或跳跃。语言上，它避免了晦涩的学术腔调，转而采用了一种既富有文采又保持精确性的风格，使得复杂的历史概念也变得平易近人。对于任何想要构建一个全面、立体、去中心化的历史观的读者而言，这本书无疑是一块绝佳的基石。它不仅教会我“发生了什么”，更重要的是教会我“为什么会这样发生”，这种提问方式的转变，对我自身的思考模式都产生了积极的影响。
