I'm looking to, if you read some good light novels, tell me. Moreover, a good websites where I could find them in one place, will be awesome.  ^-^
Status update! Guuys, I have found already a lot of light novels in one place. There are so many, that I can't decide what to read first. I'm gonna read those light novel updates firstly. I hope they won't dissappoint me! There are a lot of kinds of light novels: adventure, romantic...I hate romantic ;D my girlfriend is judging me for not being a little bit romantic :palm: you know, flowers and all kind of shit..I just love her, but those flowers do not reveal my deep feelings... So read light novel because you will fall in love

These are probably old to most of you, but were new to me and very informative and enjoyable:

Bill and Dave -story of H-P

I am C3PO - no explanation needed

Dec is dead, long live Dec - worked for them in the seventies so I got a lot out of this.

The Soul Of A New Machine - of course. On line.

Desert Solitaire a great story of the Arches a wonderful place.

So many books, so little time.

"Planar Microwave Engineering" by Thomas H. Lee.

A good sub title would be "The Joy of RF"

"Tuxedo Park : A Wall Street Tycoon and the Secret Palace of Science That Changed the Course of World War II " by Jennet Conant

Aside from setting up the MIT Radiation Lab, Loomis also was very active in the construction of the cyclotron at Berkeley during WW II.   Luis Alvarez had casually commented that if they couldn't get copper for the coils they could use aluminum and was blown away when Loomis told him they couldn't do it  because the larger conductors limited how strong the field would be.  Loomis had sat down and done all the field strength calculations.  It led Alvarez to comment that physicists care about factors of 2 and larger.  Business men care about the difference between 5 & 10%.

Have Fun!

I guess I missed this thread five years ago. I will add this:

https://www.amazon.com/Angle-Attack-Harrison-Storms-Race/dp/039332513X

Mostly about Harrison Storms, but one of the best books I've read concerning the Apollo program.
