- catalog abstract "How much difference can a new technique make to our understanding of the world? Here is a fascinating account of a breakthrough in science and the insights it has brought that would have been impossible without it. Harry Gove has been involved in accelerator mass spectrometry since its inception. Here he tells the story of its development and use as an ultrasensitive detection technique in many fields of science and the arts. Anyone interested in the development of science and how it affects our world-view will enjoy this book.".
