520    The author of Zero chronicles the last half century's 
       haphazard attempt to harness fusion energy, describing how
       governments and research teams throughout the world have 
       employed measures ranging from the controversial to the 
       humorous, in an account that introduces us to the daring 
       geniuses, villains, and victims of fusion science: the 
       brilliant and tortured Andrei Sakharov; the monomaniacal 
       and Strangelovean Edward Teller; Ronald Richter, the 
       secretive physicist whose lies embarrassed an entire 
       country; and Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann, the two 
       chemists behind the greatest scientific fiasco of the past
       hundred years. Sun in a Bottle is the first major book to 
       trace the story of fusion from its beginnings into the 
       21st century, of how scientists have gotten burned by 
       trying to harness the power of the sun.
